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? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-10-15 16:42:36] ibt dot zee at gmail dot com Description: ------------ Using php built-in server : php.exe -S 127.0.0.1 -t c:\myWebRoot if a relative path is used in a sub-folder the server assume the root as beeing that folder (the assumed root should always be the root indicated in the command line, in this case was c:\myWebRoot, this would prevent this strange fails) took me quite a while to understand why my sites worked ok in IIS, LAMP, WAMP, any Apache server... but failed using php built-in server... 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
