subdomain is lost on redirect()->to()

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.

michalsn.dev - mostly about CodeIgniter

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.
