Due to my hosting provider, I'm in a similar situation.
In my views, I use the Zend_View_Helper_Url as much as possible, since it
automatically figures out the base url:
<a href="<?php echo $this->url(array('module'=>'admin',
'controller'=>'user', 'action'=>'index'), null, true); ?>">...</a>
When including links to my /public folder, I've made a view helper which
does essentially what you described with the $request->getBaseUrl():
class App_View_Helper_BaseUrl extends Zend_View_Helper_Abstract
{
public function baseUrl($add_path = '')
{
$front = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
return rtrim($front->getBaseUrl(), '/') . '/' . ltrim($add_path,
'/');
}
}
...Using it like so:
<img src="<? echo $this->baseUrl('/public/img/PoweredBy_ZF_4LightBG.png');
?>" border="0">
In my controller actions, I use the Redirector action helper when I
redirect:
$this->_helper->Redirector->setCode(303)
->gotoSimple("index", "user", "admin", array());
For $form->setAction() and other types of url setup within the action
controllers, I just use the view helper that I mentioned already:
$form->setAction($this->view->url(array('module'=>'admin',
'controller'=>'user', 'action'=>'index'), null, true));

I put my Form classes within my library folder so it can be easily found by
the autoloader.
ex. $form = new App_Form_Login(); // -> lib/App/Form/Login.php
Hope this helps.
