How to get $this->webroot work in CakePHP 3.0

Question

I had this piece of code in my services.ctp file which was working fine before in CakePHP 2.3.10.

href="<?php echo $this->webroot . 'intro/services/1'; ?>

I just copied this file into CakePHP 3.0.0 and it's no longer working and throwing the following error message

Error: C:\apache2\htdocs\myprojxxxx\webroot\Helper could not be found.

what's different with this $this->webroot in CakePHP 3.0 ?

Please help!

Answer 1

You need to use this:

href="<?php echo $this->request->webroot . 'intro/services/1'; ?>

This will work with cakephp 3.0

Answer 2

In cakephp 4.x you need to use this:

href="<?php echo $this->Url->webroot.'/intro/services/1'; ?>
