What is the difference between base url and base link url?

Every time when we setup new magento site or configure site to live domain we put base url and base link url same, but I haven't gone in deep why we put same? If both should contain same url then why magento have this field?

I just want to know is there any special purpose for this field. Hope someone will clarify me.

Thanks

Magento for the most part uses base_url for its URL generation. If you do a grep on the app folder, you'll find that base_url returns 200 hits in 46 files, while base_link_url returns 29 hits in 9 files

The base_link_url is used in the following:

  • XmlConnect module(s)

  • Paypalflowlink module(s)

Yep, that's about it. For everything else there's base_url
