Question

When I tried to call url helper in a view file like below:

$url = $this->url();

The result is if:

1. At current the controller is index and action is index. With index is default action key, it will be only out:
   [base_url]\[module]
2. At current the controller is not index and action is no tindex it will only out:
   [base_url]\[module]\[controller]\action

But I want the link in 1st case is:

[base_url]\[module]\index\index

How can I get it?

Answer 1

If you pass a param to url helper you will retrive a full url for 1st case.

For example:

in index.phtml

<?php
 echo $this->url(array('test'=>'test'));
?>

It will print out:

/[root]/public/[module]/[controller]/index/test/test 

The you can get index action, and you’ve just ignore the /test/test

<?php
 $url  = $this->url(array('test'=>'test'));
 echo substr($url,0,-10);
?>

Output:

/[folder]/public/[module]/[controller]/index
