JURI/base

A static method that returns the base URI of the Joomla site.

Syntax

string base( $pathonly )

where:

Argument	Data type	Description	Default
$pathonly	boolean	If true then only the path to the Joomla site is returned; otherwise the scheme, host and port are prepended to the path. Note that when false (default) the URI returned has a trailing "/", but when true the trailing "/" is omitted.	false

Note

In a template you can use the shortcut $this->baseurl instead of JURI::base( true ).

Example

In this example, the Joomla site URI is shown with both values of the argument.

echo 'Joomla base URI is ' . JURI::base() . "\n";
echo 'Joomla base URI (path only) is ' . JURI::base( true ) . "\n";

might output

Joomla base URI is http://localhost/joomla/
Joomla base URI (path only) is /joomla
