laravel base path

Question

Im using URL::base(); and I get this URL:

http://www.kp.com.mx/sis_colgate/public

but what I need is this complete path:

/home/         


        

Answer 1

What you want to use is the path helper.

The URL helper is for generating HTTP URLs.

Try the path('public') function in Laravel 3,

or the public_path() function in Laravel 4.

Edit: Updated with answer for Laravel 4, thanks Erin
