php - What is the difference between base url and base link url? -

every time when setup new magento site or configure site live domain put base url , base link url same, haven't gone in deep why put same? if both should contain same url why magento have field?

i want know there special purpose field. hope clarify me.

thanks

magento part uses base_url url generation. if grep on app folder, you'll find base_url returns 200 hits in 46 files, while base_link_url returns 29 hits in 9 files

the base_link_url used in following:

• xmlconnect module(s)

• paypalflowlink module(s)

yep, that's it. else there's base_url
