subdomain is lost on redirect()->to() - divpusher - 05-15-2020
Hello!
I love CI4, so far so good!
I set up my site to handle subdomains as languages, e.g.:
mydomain.com
de.mydomain.com
fr.mydomain.com
The problem is when I redirect, it loses the subdomain, for example :
I'm on the page de.mydomain.com
I send a form, the controller redirects with this code:
Code:
return redirect()->to('/search');I arrive to mydomain.com/search instead of de.mydomain.com/search

You have to use full URL here. Otherwise CI will use baseURL from App config file as default domain.

Have you tried using
PHP Code:
current_url()
which will return the full url (including segments that you can strip out) in your redirect statement?
So it could possibly look like this:
PHP Code:
$url = str_replace("/unwanted/segments", "/search", current_url());
retrun redirect()->to($url);
//or if you have no segments
$url = current_url() . "/search";
return redirect()->to($url);

Thanks for the replies.
Kick: current_url() leaves the subdomain out as well.
I managed to solve it using the full path like this:
PHP Code:
return redirect()->to('https://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/search');
However, I think the default behavior of the to() function should be to use the full URL, including the subdomain. And maybe put a second optional boolean argument if you want to redirect to the domain without the subdomain part, e.g.:
PHP Code:
// you are on https://de.mydomain.com/
// takes you to https://de.mydomain.com/search
return redirect()->to('/search');
// takes you to https://mydomain.com/search
return redirect()->to('/search', true);

You can define baseURL property in App config (Config/App) like this:
PHP Code:
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->baseURL = 'https://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/';
}
public $baseURL = null;

Thanks! It's a nice workaround and I don't have to rewrite all the to() and back() functions! BTW I tracked down the issue to current_url() function, that's where the subdomain goes missing.
