How to get home/site URL

[mark00]

What is the proper way to return the home page URL?

I'm aware of tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT) , but I don't want the index.php appended at the end and preferably would like the URL returned either http or https depending on what the user is currently on.

 

Thanks!

You can use HTTP_SERVER if your instalation is setup in the root.

 

Another thing that you may want to consider is to install Ultimate Seo Urls 5 PRO and use the "Force www.mysite.com/ when www.mysite.com/index.php" option,

You really dont want your homepage to use https though, theres no need for SSL on that page and "may" result in duplicate content

 

Place this code in your shops root .htaccess - changing http:/yourdomain as appropriate:

# No index SSL
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^443$
RewriteRule ^index.php http://yourdomain.com/index.php  [R=301,L]
