How to get complete current url for Cakephp

Question

How do you echo out current URL in Cake's view?

Answer 1

You can do either

From a view file:

<?php echo $this->request->here() ?>">

Which will give you the absolute url from the hostname i.e. /controller/action/params

Or

<?php echo Router::url(null, true) ?> 

which should give you the full url with the hostname.
