PHP Codeigniter site_url produce HTML link error

Question

in my view, i try to print URL to my controller, below the code :

<p id="demo">
<a href="<?php echo site_url('HT');?>"> Goto Controller </a>
</p>

However those code provide HTML link error like this :

<a href="http://::1/cidLab/index.php/HT"> Goto Controller </a>

The link should be go to http://localhost/cidLab/index.php/HT but why must http://::1/ ?

I've try to use base_url, but still face same Error...

::1 is the IPv6 loopback address, just as 127.0.0.1 is the IPv4 loopback address. It's just the IP representation of localhost and should still work. I wouldn't bother too much about how the URL looks on your local development environment as long as it works. — Oldskool

This is about Codeigniter changed it's config structure. After version 3.0.3, you must configure

$config['base_url'] = '';

in config.php file at application/config folder.

This change is about security rules. They says, empty base_url may be security hole.

Base url must be your site url. If you test your application in local, you may set this url as localhost

Please add your base url here

$config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost/project';

This might work.

<a href="<?php echo site_url('/cidLab/index.php/HT');?>"
