I am writing this because I think this information is useful to all other users who want full current URL anywhere in Joomla not only in articles.

In Joomla use JURIclass to get URLs. Functions like root(), current() & base() will be used according to the need.

echo 'Joomla root URI is ' . JURI::root();
output:-Joomla root URI is http://localhost/joomla/

echo 'Joomla current URI is ' . JURI::current();
output:-Joomla current URI is http://localhost/joomla3/index.php/somealias

Note:- current() will give the whole URI except the query string part, for example,

IF your full URL is http://localhost/joomla3/index.php/somealias?id=1 then current() will only return this-> http://localhost/joomla3/index.php/somealias

While, if you use JURI::getInstance()->toString() then it will return this->

http://localhost/joomla3/index.php/somealias?id=1

For more information see these links->

  3. https://docs.joomla.org/JURI/getInstance

You can use like this 

 $article = JControllerLegacy::getInstance('Content')
            ->getModel('Article')->getItem($articleId);

  $url =  JRoute::_(ContentHelperRoute::getArticleRoute($articleId, 
                      $article->catid, 
                      $article->language))

Maybe the JURI (from Joomla! API) help you:

exemple:

echo 'Joomla current URI is ' . JURI::current() . "\n";

might output

Joomla base URI is http://localhost/joomla/
