CodeIgniter - Correct way to link to another page in a view

Question

I was wondering if someone could tell me the correct way to link to another page from within a view.

Is there a function for this or is it just the usual about

Answer 1

I assume you are meaning "internally" within your application.

you can create your own tag and insert a url in the href like this

Link

OR you can use the URL helper this way to generate an tag

anchor(uri segments, text, attributes)

So... to use it...

and that will generate

Link

For the additional commented question

I would use my first example

so...

for images (and other assets) I wouldn't put the file path within the php, I would just echo the base_url() and then add the path normally.
