PHP how to get the base domain/url?

Question

function url(){
    if(isset($_SERVER[\'HTTPS\'])){
        $protocol = ($_SERVER[\'HTTPS\'] && $_SERVER[\'HTTPS\'] != \"off\") ? \"https\" : \"http\";
    }         


        

Answer 1

Use parse_url() like this:

function url(){
    if(isset($_SERVER['HTTPS'])){
        $protocol = ($_SERVER['HTTPS'] && $_SERVER['HTTPS'] != "off") ? "https" : "http";
    }
    else{
        $protocol = 'http';
    }
    return $protocol . "://" . parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], PHP_URL_HOST);
}

Here is another shorter option:

function url(){
    $pu = parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
    return $pu["scheme"] . "://" . $pu["host"];
}

Answer 2

Tenary Operator helps keep it short and simple.

echo (isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) ? 'http' : 'https' ). "://" . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']  ;

Answer 3

2 lines to solve it

$actual_link = (isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && $_SERVER['HTTPS'] === 'on' ? "https" : "http") . "://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]";
$myDomain = preg_replace('/^www\./', '', parse_url($actual_link, PHP_URL_HOST));

If you're using wordpress, use get_site_url:

get_site_url()

function getUrl($url,$index,$subDomain=null,$issecure=false,$www=true) {
  //$url=$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']
  $protocol=($issecure==true) ?  "https://" : "http://";
  $url= substr($url,$index);
  $www =($www==true) ? "www": "";

/**
 * Suppose, you are browsing in your localhost 
 * http://localhost/myproject/index.php?id=8
 */
function getBaseUrl() 
{
    // output: /myproject/index.php
    $currentPath = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; 

    // output: Array ( [dirname] => /myproject [basename] => index.php [extension] => php [filename] => index ) 
    $pathInfo = pathinfo($currentPath); 

    // output: localhost
    $hostName = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']; 

    // output: http://
    $protocol = strtolower(substr($_SERVER["SERVER_PROTOCOL"],0,5))=='https'?'https':'http';

    // return: http://localhost/myproject/
    return $protocol.'://'.$hostName.$pathInfo['dirname']."/";
}
