无法在codeigniter视图内链接style.css

Question

I am trying to link a css style file from my codeigniter application view. But when i try to access that path "application/views/public/style.css" it says- Access forbidden! Because directory access is prevented by default on codeigniter. Now tell me how can i link that style.css file then? Any idea?

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="application/views/public/style.css">

Answer 1

create new directory called css in root and move your style.css inside the directory

/application
/system
/css/style.css

now call like following

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