yii2 Routing and URLs Creating URLs
Example
Helper yii\helpers\Url provides a set of static methods for managing URLs. This helper may used in views/controllers code.
URL to a route:
echo Url::to(['post/index']);
URL to a route with parameters:
echo Url::to(['post/view', 'id' => 100]);
anchored URL:
echo Url::to(['post/view', 'id' => 100, '#' => 'content']);
absolute URL:
echo Url::to(['post/index'], true);
absolute URL using the https scheme:
echo Url::to(['post/index'], 'https');
Note: The route passed to the Url::to() method is context sensitive. It may use current module and current controller.
For example, assume the current module is admin and the current controller is post:
relative route with action ID only (contains no slashes at all):
echo Url::to(['index']); // -->> '/index.php?r=admin%2Fpost%2Findex'
relative route (has no leading slash):
echo Url::to(['post/index']); // -->> '/index.php?r=admin%2Fpost%2Findex'
absolute route (starts with slash):
echo Url::to(['/post/index']); // -->> '/index.php?r=post%2Findex'
current requested URL:
echo Url::to();
echo Url::to(['']);
To create URL based on the current route and the GET parameters use Url::current().
Assume $_GET = ['id' => 10, 'page' => 7], current route is post/view.
current URL:
echo Url::current(); // -->> '/index.php?r=post%2Fview&id=10&page=7'
current URL without page parameter:
echo Url::current(['page' => null]); // -->> '/index.php?r=post%2Fview&id=10'
current URL with changed page parameter:
echo Url::current(['page' => 12]); // -->> '/index.php?r=post%2Fview&id=10&page=12'
