how to use ezurl() equivalent in a php script (launched by CLI...)

Hello,

I've a small script that needs to print the full url to a file (full url means including the http://domain.com).

I need, in fact, to perform the same operation (in php) as the template operator ezurl(), so I use eZURI::transformURI.

Here are the 2 lines of code:

$url = "/extension/djgfxstock/design/standard/images/foo.png";
eZURI::transformURI($url, false, 'full');

This piece of code perfectly works if I put it in a module/view, but the $url keeps unchanged if I use those 2 lines in a php scriptthat  I launch with php cli, or even with runcronjobs...

The solution would be (maybe) to force the load of a siteaccess, but even with that, I'm not sure it would work...

(indeed runcronjobs loads a siteaccess, and even with that, impossible to use absolute url)

The only solution I've found (which is crappy at a very high level) is to fill in, before my 2 lines, $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] and $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT']

Any idea is welcome!

The eZURI::transformURI() method, when used with 'full' parameter gets the hostname from the server HTTP_* variables.

Since this variables are not available when runing cli scripts (this is a restriction of Apache/PHP and not eZP), you cannot get the hostname in such a case.

One soultion would be to get the hostname from an INI setting.

Nothing is impossible. Not if you can imagine it!

Exactly, from INI settings

But, even by using ini settings, it's impossible to use eZURI::transformURI(), as it checks only server variables

As a result, I've added a feature request:

http://issues.ez.no/IssueView.php?Id=18423

Maybe it would be interesting to have ?

Because, the only way I've found for now to make ezurl() and eZURI::transformURI() work with 'full' parameter is to add a very ugly hack:

<code>

 if (eZSys::isShellExecution())
        {
            if (!eZSys::serverVariable('HTTP_HOST', true))
            {
                $siteIni = eZINI::instance();
                // Won't work if SiteURL contains other things than just hostname...
                eZSys::setServerVariable('HTTP_HOST', $siteIni->variable('SiteSettings', 'SiteURL'));
            }
            if (!eZSys::serverVariable('SERVER_PORT', true))
            {
                eZSys::setServerVariable('SERVER_PORT', 80);
            }
        }

</code>
