htaccess css path relative to index.php

Question

I run CodeIgniter on local LAN.

Since I have Wordpress, Drupal,... and they should not conflict I need to run them as subfolder. For example:

http://192.168.1.101/CodeIgniter/

My css is placed in:

http://192.168.1.101/CodeIgniter/css/mystyle.css

In my PHP styles are addressed:

<?='<link href="css/mystyle.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />'?>

My problem is that as far as I load index.php there would be no problem. However, when I load a page with parameters like:

http://192.168.1.101/CodeIgniter/users/login

My browser looks for the style in relative way!

http://192.168.1.101/CodeIgniter/users/css/mystyle.css

Which has an extra users in path.

I want all CSS to be adjusted in relative to:

192.168.1.101/CodeIgniter/

this is the content of 192.168.1.101/CodeIgniter/.htaccess :

RewriteEngine on
#RewriteBase /
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|image|css|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

how to fix it?

thanks

Codeigniter has URL helper that assist in working with URLs. Autoload url helper in application/config/autoload.php.

$autoload['helper'] = array('url');

Now echo base_url(); returns your site base URL, as specified in config file.

Now include css like

<link href="<?php echo base_url('css/mystyle.css');?>" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

While this approach works perfectly, there's another way to fix this issue, just insert <base href="<?php echo base_url()" /> at <head> section. but be aware, this will affect all relative addresses.

true. i had done that before, but i was looking for a way to get rid of absolute url to make my code look like normal websites. but it seems there is no way.
