Wordpress Plugin development

Question

I am developing a wordpress plugin.

In this plugin I am trying to get the hostname of the server.

Is this possible?

I see tags/filters like:

• get_home_url
• get_site_url
• home_url
• get_page_link

But they do not seem to work in plugins.

Answer 1

I would just use the PHP $_SERVER predefined variable rather than worry about whether a WP function is available or not.

echo $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];

will give you something like: www.example.com

Answer 2

I think you could use bloginfo('url'); wich gets the baseurl or are you looking for something else
