Is this a bug or design choice?

versions: ci4 4.04 and ci4 4.x latest develop branch.

file: app/config/app.php

PHP Code:

public $indexPage = 'index.php'; 


Url that I'm currently in:

Code:

http://localhost:8080/index.php/books/add

when I try to echo current_url() in the view file. its returns,

Code:

http://localhost:8080/books/add

See! there is no index.php part in the URL. 

I think this is a bug. this method should return url with the index.php part.

In CI3 this was the default behaviour.

Any idea about this guys?

It is a design choice in my opinion because there is an official guide about how to remove index.php in the url.

I hope not. If they give the option to use URL with and without index.php, it should work regardless which way you decide to use.

Yeah! I agree with you. this is probably a bug.

Do you see the index.php when you check the url with site_url ?

Could you also check here please. site_url

I'm not talking about site_url(). I'm talking about current_url().

Thank you. I meant that they both have different purposes maybe ?? And so, it might be a design choice ?

Then, the only thing I can do for you is to provide you this link. So that you can inform it there.
