Fatal error: Call to undefined function base_url()

Question

This line keeps giving me the aforementioned error:

<img style="padding:10px; margin:auto; display:block;" <?php echo 'src="' . base_url("assets/images/email/mailheader.jpg") . '"' ?>>

I'm running this on xampp and can't seem to figure it out, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, $autoload['helper'] = array('common_functions', 'form', 'url'); is present in autoload.php and the function works when called from other view files, just not this one for some reason. — Ashley Stewart

how is this view different than the other views? can you post the code from one where it works? are there different controllers? — cornelb

You need to load the URL helper

$this->load->helper('url');

$autoload['helper'] = array('common_functions', 'form', 'url'); is already present in autoload.php

Can you also include the code I added, at the beginning of the view?

doing so results in Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context

are you using it in a helper function? probably you have not extended the codeigniter controller... Use $CI = get_instance(); For older versions of php, use =& Then, use $CI wherever you would normally use $this

You need to write

 public function __construct() {
   parent::__construct();
   $this->load->helper('url');
}

In your controller and then use in your view
