ZF2: Zend Framework 2 Full URL including host name

Question

In my view I need to draw full URL. Like this:

http://hostename.com/default/url

When I try to use $this->url(\'default\', array(1,2,3)

Answer 1

If you want to set base URL globally, you can do it using onBootstrap method:

$e->getApplication()->getMvcEvent()->getRouter()->setBaseUrl($baseUrl);

In this case Navigation helpers would also use it.

To fetch current base URL use ServerUrl helper as described in this thread:

$serverUrl = $e->getApplication()->getServiceManager()->get('ViewHelperManager')->get('ServerUrl');
$baseUrl = $serverUrl->__invoke();
