Bootstrap cannot access using Code Igniter

Question

I paste bootstrap folder inside my CodeIgniter folder and added it to my config.php.

$config['bootstrap'] = 'bootstrap-3.3.5-dist/css/bootstrap.css';

and call it to my php script(view).

$bootstrap = $this->config->item('bootstrap'); 
 <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<? echo "$base/$bootstrap";?>">

But still I getting a 404 error.

What's `$base`? You could use `base_url(config_item('bootstrap'))` — Craig, Jun 18 '15 at 10:02
$base = $this->config->item('base_url'); ... this is my $base. — r.paul Ǿ, Jun 18 '15 at 10:04
I have just tested it on a local install of CI3 and it worked. What is the URL to the stylesheet when you view the page source? — Craig, Jun 18 '15 at 10:06
`echo base_url(config_item('bootstrap'));` worked for me, when I added `$config['bootstrap'] = 'bootstrap-3.3.5-dist/css/bootstrap.css';` to config.php — Craig, Jun 18 '15 at 10:08
the URL is correct but when access it its 404 error, That is already my config.php setup. — r.paul Ǿ, Jun 18 '15 at 10:12
You have syntax error `href=" echo "$base/$bootstrap";?>"> `. Use this `href=" echo $base.'/'.$bootstrap;?>"> ` — Shaiful Islam, Jun 18 '15 at 10:46

Assuming that $base is previously defined (usually with base_url() how to set base_url). Change this:

href="<? echo "$base/$bootstrap";?>"

To this:

href="<?php echo "$base/$bootstrap";?>"

Or alternatively, if you want to use short tags:

href="<?= "$base/$bootstrap";?>"

First make sure you autoload the url helper.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<? echo "$base/$bootstrap";?>">

Replace With

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo base_url(config_item('bootstrap'));?>">

Also make sure bootstrap-3.3.5-dist folder is in Main Directory
