In CakePHP 3 You can define "BASE_URL" constant in

yourAppFolder/config/paths.php as

define('BASE_URL', 'www.yoursite.com/');

and use BASE_URL anywhere in your project.

You probably don't need to do that, as the Helpers in Cake do that automatically.

For example, if your app is under http://localhost/somepath, creating a link like this 

echo $this->Html->link('home', '/');

will automatically point to http://localhost/somepath

Links to actions work the same way:

echo $this->Html->link('login', ['controller' => 'Users', 'action' => 'login']);

will automatically point to http://localhost/somepath/Users/login

And if you do need to get the url anywhere else than in a view, you can do it like this:

use Cake\Routing\Router;

$path = Router::url('/', true);
