URL helper

There are 3 shortcut functions which you can use:

url();

    echo url('/about/');
        /about/

    echo url('/about/', array('name' => 'Craig'));
        /about/?name=Craig

    echo url('/about/:page/', array('page' => 'contact', 'name' => 'Craig'));
        /about/contact/?name=Craig

    echo url('./history/');
        /about/history/

http_url();

    echo http_url('/about/');
        https://www.example.com/about/

You can view the source on GitHub.

Parameters

If the same base url will be used with different parameters, try:

$edit_url = url('/admin/edit/');

echo $edit_url->get(array('id' => 15));

Individual parameters can be set in a number of ways, for example:

$test_url = url('/path/:a/', array('a' => 1, 'b' => 2));
$test_url->param_set('c', 3);
$test_url->param_set(array('d' => 4, 'e' => 5));

echo $test_url->get(array('f' => 6));

URL Setup

If your not using the http_url() helper function, you can also require a 'full' url via:

$home_url = url('/');
$home_url->format_set('full');

Or set a the scheme (implying a full url) with:

$home_url = url('/');
$home_url->scheme_set('https');

Likewise the different component parts can be set/retrieved with:

$test_url = url('/path/', array('a' => 1, 'b' => 2));

$test_url->path_set('/path/');
$test_url->path_get();

$test_url->host_set('example.com');
$test_url->host_get(); // Not normally used, see config::get('output.domain')

$test_url->param_set('c', 3);
$test_url->param_set(array('d' => 4, 'e' => 5));
$test_url->params_get();

Site config

url.default_format

    absolute = default
    full = includes domain
    relative = not implemented yet

url.prefix

    Prefixed onto any absolute urls, for example:

        config::set('url.prefix', '/en');
        echo url('/about/');

            /en/about/
