To get the base URL you can use this  would return  http    localhost yiistore2 upload    Yii  app  - gt baseUrl   The following Code would return just  localhost yiistore2 upload  without http s      Yii  app  - gt getBaseUrl true    Or you could get the webroot path   would return  d  wamp www yii2store    Yii  getPathOfAlias  webroot

Supposing you have a writable  uploads  folder in your application   You can define a param like this   Yii   app- gt params  uploadPath     realpath Yii   app- gt basePath      uploads      Then you can simply use the parameter as    path1   Yii   app- gt params  uploadPath      filename    Just depending on if you are using advanced or simple template the base path will be  following the link provided by phazei       Simple  app  Your application root directory      Advanced  app  Your application root directory  either frontend or   backend or console depending on where you access it from    This way the application will be more portable than using realpath dirname   FILE
