help with relative / absolute address


Riparian

Recommended Posts

Hope this goes here.

 

I run php5 apache 2.2 with mysql4 on my local machine

 

I prefer relative addresses.

 

Can someone help with the correct syntax to call... say.. the Home page (index.php)  in the root directory with something like <a href="../"  (../ takes me back too far) when called internally

 

At the moment I have to stipulate eg.  <a href=index.php> etc

 

Cheers

Brian

Hi,

the relative address changes on which folder you are in,

"./" means THIS folder, "../" means one folder up

So if you are in the same folder of index.php you can just write "./index.php" or simply "index.php" if the file is inside some other folder you should go up to the root folder, e.g. "../../index.php"
