Drupal - Get the site base url in template.php
You can use the base_path()
function which should always work.
To be honest though it just returns $GLOBALS['base_path']
so your global $base_path
statement should work fine.
base_path()
only produce "/"
.
to get the full URL including the domain, you have to use: $GLOBALS['base_url']
If you want to get only the base URL, you can use the following line.
global $base_url;
I used it in many projects.
