Zend Framework: how to use baseUrl as used in Code Igniter

In Ze开发者_StackOverflow中文版nd Framework, baseUrl adds path as '/user/local/path_tyo_file'. Is there any function which adds path like 'http://mydomain.com/images/show.jpg' , as base_url in code igniter does?

You can set up the baseUrl in your Bootstrap.php file by using an initView method. This is also a good way of doing any general view work and keeping it out of your controllers.

protected function _initView()
{
    $view = new Zend_View();

    $view->getHelper('BaseUrl')->setBaseUrl('http://mydomain.com');

    $viewRenderer = Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::getStaticHelper(
        'ViewRenderer'
    );

    $viewRenderer->setView($view);

    return $view;
}

Can you provide a code example for where and how you use baseUrl. Where is that path coming from? Do you use Zend stand-alone or with the MVC framework?

In my MVC frameworks I don't have and see any use for the baseUrl and initially the baseUrl is empty and afaik it is something that needs to be manually configured. I don't know code igniter so I don't understand what you are trying to achieve.
