Unexpected URI segment in codeigniter

Question

I am accessing user profile page with this type of url

foo.com/index.php/controller/view_profile/user_id

its working fine. In the profile page I have different segement of the profile and using buttons for them.

if I click on a button which should take me to user financial data, its redirects to

foo.com/index.php/controller/view_profile/user_finance/user_id

instead of

foo.com/index.php/controller/user_finance/user_id

in the button link i just used following code

echo '<a href="user_finance/'.$user_id.'"><button class="btn btn-info btn-large">Financial Information</button></a>';

What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Please use the following to generate the code for the link.

$array  =   array(
    'class' =>  '<button class="btn btn-info btn-large">'
);
echo anchor('controller/user_finance/' . $user_id,"Financial Information",$array);

EDIT:

The above link you are using wont work as it needs full url which anchor helper will generate.
