Laravel - Dynamic path

Apologies in advance if this is a noob question

I have a delete function in Laravel, I am having problems with the route and returning variables I need when the website is hosted externally.

I currently have the URL coded like this

<a href="http://localhost:8888/Laravel/test/public/safesign_doc_delete/{{$file}}/{{$sector_name}}/{{$selected_sector}}">Delete</a></td>

I would like this url to be dynamic. I have tried the public_path() function but have had no prevail.

<a href="{{public_path()}}/safesign_doc_delete/{{$file}}/{{$sector_name}}/{{$selected_sector}}">Delete</a></td>

Thanks

url() is the default helper function get your hosting url which is found in the app.php under 'url' => 'http://localhost' (or other)

This will solve your URL problem

NOTE

if you are worried about changing it when it goes to production don't worry. Laravel gives you folder options where you can have LOCAL as a folder with localhost as your url and then the main app.php file can be your production settings.

You can use url() for example, like this:

<a href="{{ url() }}/safesign_doc_delete/{{$file}}/{{$sector_name}}/{{$selected_sector}}">Delete</a>

You can also call link helpers:

{{ link_to('safesign_doc_delete/'.$file.'/'.$sector_name.'/'.$selected_sector, 'Delete') }}

You should use the routing system to generate urls ,and not create them by hand, it's quite easy:

http://laravel.com/docs/routing

the concept is simple: 1) create a route in the routes.php file 2) use it with the route() helper

edit: to use a route and let LARAVEL generate the correct url , you simply have to do something similar to this (supposing that you are using blade):

<a href="{{route('name_of_the_route',array('parameter1'=>$value1,'parameter2'=> "value2,... ))}}">Delete</a>
