Have you explored the url helper functions, sounds like a path just needs to be resolved.

url() only returns the base url
Hello,
in my .env file my APP_URL = http://mydomain.com/project_folder. Then in the index method of my controller, I wanted to cache the page by using view()->render().
My problem is in the view that I am using I have this lines
but the rendered result becomes
<link href="http://mydomain.com/assets/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="http://mydomain.com/assets/css/responsive.css" rel="stylesheet">
Why did it on get the base url or the domain name and not the correct value of APP_URL which is http://mydomain.com/project_folder?
How do I fix it so it will return the APP_URL value?
Thanks in advance.

jlrdw,
Yes, but that does not answer my question. Based on that doc, the url('some/path') should return APP_URL+'some/path, which is http://mydomain.com/project_folder/some/path. But why does it only return http://mydomain.com/some/path?

Try an absolute path to the css. Have you moved the project out of webroot? If so some asset paths need updating.

jlrdw,
The project is really setup in a subfolder. This is my code in my blade file
and my
APP_URL = http://mydomain.com/project_folder
after rendering the view, this is the result of the above code
I was expecting it to be
What is the problem in my blade code?
Why didn't url() returned the correct APP_URL?

Shouldn't it be this?
APP_URL=mydomain.com

You should really set up the project where everything is above the webroot except the public folder. See @Qlic answer here https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/laravel/upload-project-laravel

zachleigh,
No. Because the app should be running in a subfolder. APP_URL is suppose to be where we want the app located, right? That is how I understand about that setting?

jldrw,
But what if the application is just a part of the main website? Do we need to reconfigure the entire website to have it fit with laravel, which is just a small part of a bigger website?

Yes for security reasons, search this forum there is a lot of topics on this. Google as well as you see more results than Jeffrey shows.

jlrdw,
Ok. I think that is not a good option in our part. I just thought that frameworks are flexible enough to fit in any cases possible. But thank you so much for your time in attending to my questions.
Cheers :-)

As far as I know, APP_URL is simply the url of the app. It doenst appear to be used much at all. I just did a grep search through a 5.3 app and the only place it is used is in a package.
My guess would be that you want to change the base path of the application. I believe you can do this in bootstrap/app.php. You'll probably want to change this line:
$app = new Illuminate\Foundation\Application(
realpath(__DIR__.'/../')
);
Just a guess though....
