Getting the current domain in a Drupal site

Submitted by Benjamin Melançon on August 1, 2007 - 10:52am

drupal get url base

My way:

$url = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] $domain = parse_url($url, PHP_URL_HOST); if(substr($domain, 0, 4) == 'www.') $domain = substr($domain, 4);

Used in the Agaric recipe profile for setting the files system location.

The way settings.php did it:

if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'])) { $domain = '.'. preg_replace('`^www.`', '', $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);

Why are you using the HTTP_REFERER key to detect the domain?
