How to get complete current url for Cakephp
How do you echo out current URL in Cake's view?
Solution 1:
You can do either
From a view file:
<?php echo $this->request->here() ?>">
Which will give you the absolute url from the hostname i.e. /controller/action/params
Or
<?php echo Router::url(null, true) ?>
which should give you the full url with the hostname.
Solution 2:
I prefer this, because if I don't mention "request" word, my IDE gives warning.
<?php echo $this->request->here; ?>
API Document: class-CakeRequest
Edit: To clarify all options
Current URL: http://example.com/en/controller/action/?query=12
// Router::url(null, true)
http://example.com/en/controller/action/
// Router::url(null, false)
/en/controller/action/
// $this->request->here
/en/controller/action/
// $this->request->here()
/en/controller/action/?query=12
// $this->request->here(false)
/en/controller/action/?query=12
// $this->request->url
en/controller/action
// $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]
/en/controller/action/?query=12
// strtok($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"],'?');
/en/controller/action/
Solution 3:
<?php echo $_SERVER[ 'REQUEST_URI' ]; ?>
EDIT: or,
<?php echo $this->Html->url( null, true ); ?>
Solution 4:
The following "Cake way" is useful because you can grab the full current URL and modify parts of it without manually having to parse out the $_SERVER[ 'REQUEST_URI' ] string and then manually concatenating it back into a valid url for output.
Full current url:Router::reverse($this->request, true)
Easily modifying specific parts of current url:
1) make a copy of Cake's request object:
$request_copy = $this->request
2) Then modify $request_copy->params and/or $request_copy->query arrays
3) Finally: $new_url = Router::reverse($request_copy, true).
Solution 5:
Cakephp 3.5:
echo $this->Url->build($this->getRequest()->getRequestTarget());
Calling $this->request->here() is deprecated since 3.4, and will be removed in 4.0.0. You should use getRequestTarget() instead.
$this->request is also deprecated, $this->getRequest() should be used.
