Images, css files etc need to reside outside the application folder, preferably in an "assets" folder that is located on the same level. You can then link to them in your views like so:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo base_url(); ?>assets/css/style.css">

Your folder structure would be:

ci-project
-index.php
-application
-assets
--css // --> style.css
--img // --> logo.png

See my updated answer. It's a matter of properly structuring your CI-install's subfolders.

It is structured the way you need it to be

In application/config/config.php your base_url should be set as follows: $config['base_url'] = '';

Also, your html files should reside in application/views/, with a .phpextension.

I have copied and pasted $config['base_url'] = ''; and checked if my view was in application/views/ with a .php extension , everything is as you want it to be but its sill not working

Maybe ?:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="../code/application/style/style.css">
