How do I get a controller's URL from a view in Codeigniter?

Question

Let say I am at my View loaded by my controller named Book.

Is there any way for me to get my controller’s URL at View instead of manually typing:

echo base_url('book');  

Answer 1

To return the current controller, you can use.

$this->router->fetch_class();

Equally, if you wanted to return the current method, then you could use:

$this->router->fetch_method();
