Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=68236&edit=1 ID: 68236 Updated by: requinix@php.net Reported by: ibt dot zee at gmail dot com Summary: built-in server relative paths fail -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Type: Bug Package: *General Issues Operating System: Windows XP/7/8/10 PHP Version: 5.6.1 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: The server does not resolve relative paths - the browser does. If you put output and click a link to "../index.html" then the server will receive a request for /index.html. What is the exact <a href> in question?

As this built-in server is a excelent and useful resource, I urge you to solve this odd behaviour... for versions 5.4.x and 5.6.x Test script: --------------- no script, this will happen even with a simple HTML static page link <a> from any subfolder as you click the link (if it has a relative path, for example other html file in the same folder) php-server try to find it in root... wwwroot index.html images_folder any_image.png pages_folder page1.html page2.html if you have a link <a> in page1.html that is inside pages_folder and that link jumps to page2.html php built-in server will fail to retrive page2.html because is looking for /page2.html instead of ./page2.html the problem is that assume the current folder as root to search for relative links ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=68236&edit=1
