The base_path
function can be used to retrieve the path to the directory the Laravel application is installed in. It can also be used to construct paths relative to the base path by supplying a $path
.
#Signature
The signature of the base_path
function is:
1function base_path(
2 $path = ''
3);
#Example Use
The following examples will assume that the Laravel application is installed in the
/home/vagrant/Code/Laravel/
directory. The resulting path will appear above the function calls as a comment.
1// /home/vagrant/Code/Laravel/
2base_path();
3
4// /home/vagrant/Code/Laravel/app
5base_path('app');
6
7// /home/vagrant/Code/Laravel/public
8base_path('public');
Like the app_path
function, the base_path
function will not automatically add the trailing slash to the final string.
1// /home/vagrant/Code/Laravel/public/
2str_finish(base_path('public'), '/');
