Can someone check base_url() and base_url("param") - John_Betong - 09-06-2020
I have been trying to correctly use the base_url() function and having trouble
I find that:
1. echo base_url() issues the correct URL
2. echo base_url(). $param issues the correct URL
3. echo base_url($param) issues an INCORRECT URL
I have checked the ./system/Helpers/url_helper.php source code and it is not easy when trying to debug using the Sublime text editor

Hi, I'd need 3 more informations to answer that question:
1. Where did you write that code (in which controller/model/view/library/…)?
2. What is the incorrect result you get?
3. What is the expected result?

@SteveDroz,
This is the View script
PHP Code:
<?php declare(strict_types=1);
$aLinksTop = [
'home' => 'Home',
'bwci4' => 'Built with CI4',
'playground' => 'Playground',
'info' => 'Info',
'lhost' => 'Localhost',
];
$sLinksTop = '';
foreach($aLinksTop as $key => $link) :
$URL = base_url() .'/' .$key;
$current =($key === $uri->getSegment(1, 'home') )
? ' current '
: ''
;
$tmp = <<< ____EOT
\n
<a class="$key $current" href="$URL"> $link </a>
____EOT;
$sLinksTop .= $tmp;
endforeach;
The above script $URL is correct and displays:
Quote:$URL = base_url() .'/' .$key;
==>
http://localhost/ci4-strict.tk/public_html/home
http://localhost/ci4-strict.tk/public_html/bwci4
http://localhost/ci4-strict.tk/public_html/playground
http://localhost/ci4-strict.tk/public_html/info
http://localhost/ci4-strict.tk/public_html/lhost
Using this script in accordance with the manual produces:
Quote:$URL = base_url($key);
==>
http://localhost/ci4-strict.tk/public_html/ci4-strict.tk/public_html/home
http://localhost/ci4-strict.tk/public_html/ci4-strict.tk/public_html/bwci4
http://localhost/ci4-strict.tk/public_html/ci4-strict.tk/public_html/playground
http://localhost/ci4-strict.tk/public_html/ci4-strict.tk/public_html/info
http://localhost/ci4-strict.tk/public_html/ci4-strict.tk/public_html/lhost
RE: Can someone check base_url() and base_url("param") - SteeveDroz - 09-07-2020
Ah, I see!
Your problem comes from the fact that base_url($param) uses relative URIs. That means that it will display a page according to your current location.
To avoid that, you can prefix your path with a "/" :
PHP Code:
base_url($somethingWithASlash);
or
PHP Code:
base_url('/'.$somethingWithoutASlash);
RE: Can someone check base_url() and base_url("param") - John_Betong - 09-07-2020
@SteveDroz,
According to the CI4 manual it is not necessary to precede the parameter with a leading slash. Also I think that would give the URL two slashes.
From the manual:
Quote:echo base_url('blog/post/123');
The above example would return something like:
http://example.com/blog/post/123
I was hoping someone could confirm the script and if the output is the same as mine I will raise a error request.
RE: Can someone check base_url() and base_url("param") - SteeveDroz - 09-07-2020
Oh yeah… I looked at the code and saw it was using relative URIs. I must have misread a line, sorry about my false answer.
I don't intend to try to correct your way of doing, you seem way more expert than I am with CI4, but I don't understand why you put that code in the View instead of the Controller, so I'm not sure how to help you further.

I make extensive use of the base_url() function in my code... and it still seems to be working fine under 4.0.4 (and some of its later commits).
Though, I typically use it like this:
Code:
if (isset($_REQUEST))
{
unset($_REQUEST);
return redirect()->to(base_url());
}Code:
if ($honeypot->hasContent($request))
{
return redirect()->to(base_url('Index/tools')); // that'll feck 'em!
}RE: Can someone check base_url() and base_url("param") - InsiteFX - 09-07-2020
You do not need the base_url in route_to if you have defined a route for that controller.
Example:
PHP Code:
$routes->group('', ['namespace' => 'Insitefx\Admin\Controllers'], function($routes)
{
$routes->get('dashboard', 'Dashboard::index', ['filter' => 'login']);
});
And to go to my dashboard:
PHP Code:
<li class="nav-item d-none d-sm-inline-block">
<a href="<?= route_to('dashboard');?>" class="nav-link">Dashboard</a>
</li>
