YII 2 Get Site URL

Question

My Application is deployed on localhost/upload.

I am using following code to generate relative URL.

 Url::to('@web/my_controller/action'); // it returns /upload/my_controller/action

But, I need full URL like this instead: http://localhost/upload/my_controller/action.

Am I missing something?

Answer 1

You should simply use a route :

Url::to(['my_controller/action']);

And if you want an absolute base url :

Url::to(['my_controller/action'], true);
