How to get root directory in yii2
yii2 Question
My yii2 install in d:\wamp\www\yii2store
I want to get above path to save images which will be uploaded by me or users.
I have pass all available arguments in Yii::getAlias('@webroot')
(below are the lists of argument which I have used).
@yii
- framework directory.
@app
- base path of currently running application.
@runtime
- runtime directory.
@vendor
- Composer vendor directory.
@webroot
- web root directory of currently running web application.
@web
- base URL of currently running web application.
And also once I will get above path to save images then how can I get path something like this localhost/yiistore2/upload
to be use in img tag src.
One more thing how can I create my own alias with Yii::setAlias()
and where to create this so that I can load it on every controller.
Open file
D:\wamp\www\yiistore2\common\config\params-local.php
Paste below code before return
Yii::setAlias('@anyname', realpath(dirname(__FILE__).'/../../'));
After inserting above code in params-local.php file your file should look like this.
Yii::setAlias('@anyname', realpath(dirname(__FILE__).'/../../'));
return [
];
Now to get path of your root (in my case its D:\wamp\www\yiistore2
) directory you can use below code in any php file.
echo Yii::getAlias('@anyname');
Use "getAlias" in Yii2
\Yii::getAlias('@webroot')
