Try Zend Framework vol.5 "Always absolute url"

Zend Framework has some cute View Helpers.
One of them is Zend_View_Helper_Url which generates url easily.
But, it gives part of url. Sometimes I want to get absolute path. :<
Don't you want? :>

library/Hoge/View/Helper/Url.php

<?php
require_once 'Zend/View/Helper/Url.php';

class Hoge_View_Helper_Url extends Zend_View_Helper_Url
{

  public function url(array $urlOptions = array(), $name = null, $reset = false)
  {
    $server = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getRequest()->getServer();
    $url = parent::url($urlOptions, $name, $reset);

    return strtolower(trim(array_shift(split('/', $server['SERVER_PROTOCOL'])))) . '://' . $server['HTTP_HOST'] . $url;
  }

}

To use it. Nothing changes from default usage.

application/views/scripts/hoge/url.phtml

<?= $this->url() ?>

I strongly inspired by this entry. So I could write the code above. :p
