How to get base url in laravel using php

Question

In Codeigniter, I could load the url helper and then simply do

echo base_url();

to get my site's URL. Is there an equivalent in Laravel?

Hello @kartik,

You can use the URL facade which lets you do calls to the URL generator

So you can do:

URL::to('/');

You can also use the application container:

$app->make('url')->to('/');
$app['url']->to('/');
App::make('url')->to('/');

Hope it helps!!

Thank YoU!!
