Following are the build-in constants you can use as per your requirements for getting the paths in Codeigniter:

EXT: The PHP file extension

FCPATH: Path to the front controller (this file) (root of CI)

SELF: The name of THIS file (index.php)

BASEPATH: Path to the system folder

APPPATH: The path to the “application” folder
