Two base_url possible? - El Forum - 10-11-2007

When I code I use a local webserver. And when Im happy with my code I upload it to my web host. Nothing strange with that...
But every time I upload I have to change the commenting in my config file.
$config['base_url'] = "http://localhost:8888/";
//$config['base_url'] = "http://www.mydomain.com/";
Is there a better way?
something like this
psuedo code
if (isValid(http://localhost:8888/))
{$config['base_url'] = "http://localhost:8888/";}
else
{$config['base_url'] = "http://www.mydomain.com/;}

used to do this:
Code:
if ($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']=='something')
{
some setup
}
else
{
some setup

it worked excellent. $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']=='something' was just what I was looking for.
thanks

Another solution : Put the hostname in a environment variable and load it directly.

Code:
$config['base_url'] = "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
$config['base_url'] .= preg_replace('@/+$@','',dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])).'/';or
Code:
$proto = "http" .
((isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && $_SERVER['HTTPS'] == "on") ? "s" : "") . "://";
$server = isset($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']) ?
$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] : $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
$config['base_url'] = $proto . $server;From: this thread

Hi,
do I really need to have the site ip/name in the base_url? Cant I just specify the path. I.e. if I have http://server/code/ , cant I just set $config['base_url'] = "/code/" ? This would allow for unlimited sites (as long as the path is the same...)
Thanks

You could try to put it in the index_page
$config['index_page'] = "code/index.php";
But i'm not sure it will work

My problem is that Im using base_url in all img, js, css links etc. And its also used in the form_open function by CI.
E.g.
<img src="<?=base_url()?>images/projectIcons/logo.gif" alt="">
<?=form_open('app/login', array('name' => 'loginform', 'id' => 'loginform'))?>
If I have multiple sites, or multiple networks to my site, I cant have a specific ip address/name configured in the base_url. Therefor I thought that I could leave the ip address/name out. It seems to work, but I wonder if I cause problems somewhere else in CI.
Any thoughts?

There are numerous solutions to the different paths problem between http://localhost and the online version.
The way I do it is to have this define in my index.php and change the paths wherever required.
Code:
// index.php
define('LOCALHOST', file_exists('c:') );
// config.php
if (LOCALHOST) {
$config['base_url'] = "http://localhost/" ;
}else{
$config['base_url'] = "http://sitename.com/" ;
}
