## abs

     $url->abs([base, [scheme]])

Returns the absolute URL, given a base. If invoked with no parameters, any previous definition of the base is used. The second parameter is a Boolean that modifies `abs`'s behavior. When the second parameter is nonzero, `abs` will accept a relative URL with a scheme but no host, like "http:index.html".
