How do I get the absolute URL when using l()?

Question

I want to get <a href="http://site.ru/node/123">New product</a> from l(), and I call it as l('New product', 'node/123'), but this function generates a URL that is not absolute.

How can I generate an absolute URL with l()?

Answer 1

You can make a link absolute with:

l(t('New product'), 'node/123', array('absolute' => TRUE));

See l() and url() for more.

Answer 2

Check out l() and the options in url() for how to construct a link with or without http: but basically you need to set the absolute option to TRUE.
