codeigniter segment method
Are you doing this in your view?
I dont know if $this->uri->segment will work inside views, never needed it myself.
Instead grab the URI inside your controller and pass it back to the view.
$this->load->view('some view', array( 'link' => $this->uri->segment(6)));-
<a href="<?php echo $link;?>">link</a>Although I dont really understand why you would want to do that.
Its not url but uri
$this->uri->segment(6);and i think you are missing = operator in the anchor
<a href="<?=$this->uri->segment(6)?>">MyLink</a>
From the resulting URL that you posted, it looks like you might be missing a forward slash.
<a href="/<?php echo $this->uri->segment(6); ?>">link text</a>This would force the URL to forward to the root of your site, rather than to that location inside the current folder that the browser thinks it is in.
