To get the base URL in your controller just call

$baseUrl = $this->base


That will give you the base URL and set it in $baseUrl


To get the absolute URL for your project you can call

$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']



Now to combine it simple append the two to get the full absolute path which can be used to reference images in emails or whatever you like.

'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$this->base
