Eleminating base_url() in every view for CodeIgniter - codeigniter

Question

I am using CodeIgniter for my web app and i want to avoid on keep using base_url() function in all my urls in the views.
Now this code is what i want :
Click me to create user
instead of
Click me to create user
However, specifying "/user/create" will redirect me to below url which is incorrect
http://localhost/user/create
What i want is that "/user/create" url in href should automatically redirect me to
http://localhost/myapp/user/create
without specifying base_url()
Is this possible?
This is my current .htaccess file
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
# Turn on URL rewriting
RewriteEngine On
# If your website begins from a folder e.g localhost/my_project then
# you have to change it to: RewriteBase /my_project/
# If your site begins from the root e.g. example.local/ then
# let it as it is
RewriteBase /myapp/
# Protect application and system files from being viewed when the index.php is missing
RewriteCond $1 ^(application|system|private|logs)
# Rewrite to index.php/access_denied/URL
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/access_denied/$1 [PT,L]
# Allow these directories and files to be displayed directly:
RewriteCond $1 ^(index\.php|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico|public|assets|css|js|images)
# No rewriting
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [PT,L]
# Rewrite to index.php/URL
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [PT,L]
</IfModule>
Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks

Answer 1

you can use form helper library
//Controller
function __construct()
{
parent:: __construct();
$this->load->helper('url');
$this->load->helper('form');
}
//View
<?php echo anchor('user/create','Click me to create user');?>
This will create similar result as
Click me to create user
They are way much better than using base_url() for links.

Answer 2

Try this:
href="user/create"
Just remove the first slash (/) before user and try.
