Answer 1

Why your code doesn't work is described here:- https://stackoverflow.com/a/2005097/4248328

So do like below:-

<a href="https://www.google.com">click me</a>

Answer 2

尝试这个

<a href="https://www.google.com">click me</a>

Answer 3

Please change url to:

<a href="http://www.google.com"> click me </a>

Reason: HTML parses urls as of relative ones if no http or https is given.

HTML server in your case considers google.com as a relative file is the same directory.

Answer 4

In Codeigniter you can do it a couple of ways

Using the base_url from the url helper

Note: the base url in config.php must be set

https://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/helpers/url_helper.html#base_url

<a href="<?php echo base_url('job_classified');?>">Some Name</a>

<a href="<?php echo base_url('controller/function');?>">Some Name</a>

Also you can use the anchor();

https://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/helpers/url_helper.html#anchor

<?php echo anchor('job_classified', 'Job Classified');?>

<?php echo anchor('controller/function', 'Job Classified');?>

Answer 5

Always prepend URLs with double slash. That way you don't need to think whether location should be http or https.

<a href="//google.com">This way browser will automatically</a>

<a href="//www.google.com">determine which scheme to use</a>
