Re: HTTP1.1

Acutally, I think Im ok, because, the dynamic links, adjust to where ever it lives in the file system. I defined a constant and use the constant in links, so no matter how you rearrange stuff, it would still work. So if the only reason is piece of mind, then Im in peace with myself... :) Thanks for your input. Cal Evans wrote:

It's not so much a no-no as it is bad form. It makes it very difficult to re-arrange your site at a later date or move that page. For your own peace of mind and those who come behind you, absolute links in the form of href="/correct/path/to/the/file.php" should be used. You can omit the http:// and the host name if you like. =C= * * Cal Evans * Journeyman Programmer * Techno-Mage * http://www.calevans.com * -----Original Message----- From: Gerard Samuel [mailto:gsam@trini0.org] Sent: Thursday, June 27, 2002 12:40 PM To: php-gen Subject: [PHP] HTTP1.1 Kinda off topic, but it deals with a php script Im writing. Ive been using dynamic strings to create relative links like -> <a href="../../somefile.php">somefile</a> I was wondering if this is a no no according to http 1.1 specs. ie absolute links -> <a href="http://host/correct_path_to_file.php">somefile</a> I briefly looked through through the specs, but it didn't say that links/urls shouldn't be formatted like the first example above... Any insight, would be grateful.
