How to retrieve Site Url and Site Name in Plugin

Question

I'm having an exceedingly difficult time trying to retrieve the Site URL and Name in a custom plugin I am developing.

My research has led me to believe this would work:

$envVar = craft()->config->get('environmentVariables');
$siteUrl = $envVar['siteUrl'];
$siteName = $envVar['siteName'];

But in practice this hasn't worked. Does anyone know the correct way?

Answer 1

You can get them via craft()->getSiteUrl() and craft()->getSiteName().

Answer 2

In Craft 3 you can do this:

use craft\helpers\UrlHelper;
UrlHelper::siteUrl();

Craft::$app->sites->currentSite->name;

Answer 3

What you've done should work fine for actual environment variables, but both siteUrl and siteName are proper config settings that you can access via craft()->config->get('siteUrl') and craft()->config->get('siteName').
