redirect url helper redirect to localhost

Hi,

When a call a redirect url helper function this function as following:

redirect('controller/method');

redirect to http://localhost/index.php/controller/method

If I set base_url variable on config file works correctly and redirect to http://myvirtualhost.com/index.php/controller/method but this not was necessary on codeigniter 2 and can be a problem because we must to define a base_url per environment.

Greetings.

Did you create a route link in config/routes.php

$route['controller/function'] = "controller/function";
$route['controller/function/(:any)'] = "controller/function/$1";

May not be necessary but just checking

There's only one rule - please don't tell anyone to go and read the manual.  Sometimes the manual just SUCKS!

You can create config files based on the environment, so each one would have its own base_url.

I know it, but it works on codeigniter 2 without definer base_url for two enviroments and, repeat entire config file just to this line? I can use enviromnet variable too, but I think is too much usually to have diferent domains for develop and production, then, in ci 3 almost all times we must duplicate this file.

I think whould be more practical that if you don't define base_url it mantains the current, that would work at all environments.

Hi,

I viewed that in ci3 has ENVIRONMENT constant defined in index file, in ci 2 I also defined, then, although I think is better maintain current domain, but it can be done the following:

$config['base_url'] = ENVIRONMENT == 'development' ? 'domain.dev' : 'domain.com';

Greetings.

You also don't have to copy the whole config file. Just the values you want to override. CI will still load the default /config/config.php file, and then load /config/ENVIRONMENT/config.php. So you'd only need to change the base_url in /config/ENVIRONMENT/config.php and don't have to have everything else. That's explained in the docs I linked to.

Ah, ok, thanks, i suposed that new config file replace entire the other, just overwrite the variables defined on the new file

In most cases, redirect('controller/method') should still work in this manner without setting the base_url, though you should set the base_url anyway. If it doesn't work, it would imply that site_url('controller/method') is not working, either.

All of this implies that some combination of settings (base_url, enable_query_strings, url_suffix, and index_page seem to be the most likely candidates) causes site_url() to fail. Where does redirect('controller/method') attempt to send you when base_url is empty?

When base_url is not set redirect('controller/method') redirect to http://localhost/index.php/controller/method, the other projects in ci 2 redirect to the current domain (http://example.dev/index.php/controller/method).

I think that something change in ci 3 because the documentation in config file has changed, now in ci 3 say that is recomended set this value.

The localhost value would seem to point to the else condition here:

Are you using 2.2 for your CI2 projects, or an earlier version?

2.2 and 3.0 use the same code for this particular section, and I can't really figure out where the localhost would come from, otherwise. The big difference between <=2.1 and >=2.2 on this line is the preg_match() validation, so, if the HTTP_HOST value fails the validation, it would revert to localhost.
