i want to use base url in javascript file using codeigniter function base_url()
i am doing it as below but this is not working ,
$('.toggleimg').attr('src','<?=base_url?>assets/front/img/sidebar1.jpg');
Please helpe me how can i make it work in a js file .
On your .php file, outside the <?php ... ?> tags, define base_url with php :
<script type="text/javascript">
var base_url = <?php echo base_url() ?>;
</script>
<script src="your-js-file.js" ></script>
then you could use base_url variable on your your-js-file.js javascript file :
$('.toggleimg').attr('src', base_url + 'assets/front/img/sidebar1.jpg');
Probably you have this piece of code in a ".js" file. The PHP code <?=base_url?> will work only in a .php file. See this question for an answer to get base url in js.
You cannot execute PHP code inside of javascript, you could assign the base url to a variable and then call that in your js.
Although I don't see why you would need to assign the base url through a variable as surely this will never change?
