RE: [PHP] Printing a root link into HTML

if you are talking about HTML then ALWAYS USE ROOT-RELATIVE PATHS. so, if you put a simple html link to '../file.html' you should ideally have it as '/whatever/dir/it/is/file.html'. This style should always be used, especially when developing a dynamic site which is what all of us do in here. If you don't follow this advice I will start calling you "DreamVeawer" :-) -maxim maletsky -----Original Message----- From: Chris Anderson [mailto:chrisderson@ameritech.net] Sent: Saturday, July 07, 2001 9:28 AM To: Gyozo Papp; php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] Printing a root link into HTML To specify, I want to link to a file in a previous directory, none of those methods seem to work for that. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gyozo Papp" <pgerzson@freestart.hu> To: "Chris Anderson" <chrisderson@ameritech.net>; <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Friday, July 06, 2001 8:17 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] Printing a root link into HTML Hello, you should use full-path instead. You can easily find out what the name of the upper directory has in PHP with using either $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] or dir_name(__FILE__) or realpath('../previous.html'). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Anderson" <chrisderson@ameritech.net> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: 2001. július 7. 01:40 Subject: [PHP] Printing a root link into HTML I need to give a link to a file in a previous directory, but HTML doesn't understand ../ links.
