I know this is a stupid question, but I can't find the answer anywhere. If I'm using Codeigniter, where do I save my favicon file so that it will pop up in the browser? Or is there a config option in the files that I haven't been able to find yet? This is driving me crazy!
Thanks a lot for the help.
It depends on your organization. I usually put the favicon.gif file in the web root folder, so the URL would be yourdomain.com/favicon.gif
Then you have to add the following line of code into your HTML <head>:
<link rel="icon" href="<?=base_url()?>/favicon.gif" type="image/gif">
Assuming that the URL Helper is loaded in CodeIgniter. You can load it via $this->load->helper('url'); or add it into the autoload helper array in your config folder.
You could load the HTML helper and use <?php echo link_tag('favicon.ico', 'shortcut icon', 'image/ico'); ?> on the <head> html tag.

I have used this in my code and its working fine

<link rel="icon" href="<?php echo base_url(); ?>favicon.ico" type="image/gif">
