Automatic config[base_url]

[quote author="paulopmx" date="1189019955"]Don’t you just hate it, when you move from development server to production server that you have to change the $config[’base_url’] setting?

Well I do. Because I do it a lot, specially when I’m demoing a web application, that’s why I added this code to the config.php

Code:

$root = "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
$root .= str_replace(basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']),"",$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']);

$config['base_url']    = "$root";

Once thats added, Codeigniter base_url will adapt to whatever the url you're using.[/quote]


My suggestion:

index.php (the main file of your CI application) :

Code:

$_ciroot = rtrim(dirname(__FILE__),"/")."/";
if (stristr(PHP_OS, 'WIN')) $_ciroot = str_replace("\\", "/", $_ciroot);
$_ciroot = str_replace($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'], '', $_ciroot);
define('CIROOT', $_ciroot );

config.php:

Code:

$config['base_url']    = "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].CIROOT;

...you can improve the protocol detection.

BR!
