I had the same question as the OP  but maybe a different requirement  I created this function            Get the base URL of the current page  For example  if the current page URL is     https   example com dir example php whatever  this function will return     https   example com dir            return string The base URL of the current page      function get base url           protocol   filter input INPUT SERVER   HTTPS        if  empty  protocol              protocol    http               host   filter input INPUT SERVER   HTTP HOST          request uri full   filter input INPUT SERVER   REQUEST URI         last slash pos   strrpos  request uri full            if   last slash pos     FALSE             request uri sub    request uri full            else            request uri sub   substr  request uri full  0   last slash pos   1              return  protocol            host    request uri sub          which  incidentally  I use to help create absolute URLs that should be used for redirecting

The following code will reduce the problem to check the protocol    The   SERVER  APP URL   will display the domain name with the protocol    SERVER  APP URL   will return protocol   domain   eg -http   localhost     SERVER  REQUEST URI   for remaining parts of the url such as  directory subdirectory something else    url     SERVER  APP URL     SERVER  REQUEST URI      The output would be like this   http   localhost directory subdirectory something else

Try this    lt  php echo  http         SERVER  SERVER NAME       SERVER  REQUEST URI      gt    Learn more about the   SERVER predefined variable   If you plan on using https  you can use this   function url      return sprintf        s    s s       isset   SERVER  HTTPS     amp  amp    SERVER  HTTPS       off     https     http         SERVER  SERVER NAME          SERVER  REQUEST URI           echo url       gt  http   127 0 0 1 foo   Per this answer  please make sure to configure your Apache properly so you can safely depend on SERVER NAME    lt VirtualHost   gt      ServerName example com     UseCanonicalName on  lt  VirtualHost gt    NOTE  If you re depending on the HTTP HOST key  which contains user input   you still have to make some cleanup  remove spaces  commas  carriage return  etc  Anything that is not a valid character for a domain  Check the PHP builtin parse url function for an example

In my case I needed the base URL similar to the RewriteBasecontained in the  htaccess file   Unfortunately simply retrieving the RewriteBase from the  htaccess file is impossible with PHP  But it is possible to set an environment variable in the  htaccess file and then retrieve that variable in PHP  Just check these bits of code out    htaccess  SetEnv BASE PATH     index php  Now I use this in the base tag of the template  in the head section of the page     lt base href   lt  php echo   empty  getenv   BASE PATH        getenv   BASE PATH             gt    gt    So if the variable was not empty  we use it  Otherwise fallback to   as default base path   Based on the environment the base url will always be correct  I use   as the base url on local and production websites  But  foldername  for on the staging environment    They all had their own  htaccess in the first place because the RewriteBase was different  So this solution works for me
