Variable for URL to phpBB installation?

microUgly · Post by **microUgly** » Wed May 07, 2008 4:30 am

I need to use a full URL (protocol, host and path) to a file in a module I'm writing. To make sure the module is portable I need to ensure the URL is correct on all installations of phpBB. Is there a variable that is set that I can for the host and path of phpBB that I can trust to always be correct?

Ok, this is what I'm using

Code: Select all

$url = $config['server_protocol'].$config['server_name'].$config['script_path'];

I'm not sure if I'll need to check the value of $config['script_path'] to see if I need to append a "/" for when I extend the URL to include a file/folder.

Have you tried using the generate_board_url() function?

That's exactly what I needed. Thanks.

Are these functions documented somewhere or is it just a matter of knowing where to look?
