title: CodeIgniter - Simple base_url question
body: <p>I'm a bit confused here.</p>
  
  <p>I have a simple controller which loads a view. The view contains a form and links some CSS files. I don't really want to do <code>../../css/global.css</code>in my link tag. I want to use the base_url() method and then go /css/. </p>
  
  <p>I know a friend uses the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  &lt;link href="{base_url}css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, I can't get that to work. He uses CodeIgniter 1.7 though, I'm using the latest (2.something) version. I'm new to CodeIgniter and I wanted to mess around with it, but I can't even link a simple CSS file :(</p>
  
  <p>My view is in <code>/logic/views/index.php</code>, my css files are in <code>/css/</code></p>
  
  <p>Thanks a bunch.</p>
