Automatically Get the Base URL for CodeIgniter
Everytime, we set up or move a Codeigniter site, we have to make sure that the base_url in the config file is correctly set.
Someone recently asked in the CodeIgniter forums about this and we came up with something like this
$config['base_url'] = ((empty($_SERVER['HTTPS']) OR $_SERVER['HTTPS'] === 'off') ? 'http' : 'https') . '://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/';
This snippet of code works but unfortunately doesn't when you've set up CodeIgniter in a subdirectory.

Sorry about the formatting for comments. I promise I’d fix this when I have the time.
I will also look into your code and try it out.

Try this:
$url = $_SERVER[‘SCRIPT_NAME’];
$url = substr($url,0,strpos($url,”.php”));
$url = substr($url,0,(strlen($url) - strpos(strrev($url),”/”)));
$url = ((empty($_SERVER[‘HTTPS’]) OR $_SERVER[‘HTTPS’] === ‘off’) ? ‘http’ : ‘https’).”://”.$_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’].$url;
$config[‘base_url’] = $url;
