You can use the base_path() function which should always work.
To be honest though it just returns $GLOBALS['base_path'] so your global $base_path statement should work fine.

Yeah but this one worked. May be the $globals are not available in template.php– esafwanFeb 28, 2012 at 20:08

This works nicely to build a PHP header for a View that links to the add content page, eg. <a href="<?php echo base_path(); ?>node/add/offer">Create New Offer</a> Aug 8, 2013 at 16:18
base_path() only produce "/".
to get the full URL including the domain, you have to use: $GLOBALS['base_url']

1It works also in Views PHP to to get the site url <?php print $GLOBALS['base_url'] ."/" ; ?> Written in Global PHP - Output code Oct 27, 2017 at 1:49
If you want to get only the base URL, you can use the following line.
global $base_url;
I used it in many projects.
This does not directly answer the question, but seems relevant. If you're looking for the domain name / base url in order to combine it with the aliased path for a node, instead just get the absolute URL like this:
$absoluteurl = url('node/' . $nid, array('absolute' => TRUE));
// http://example.com/content/aliased_path
