I am having trouble getting the links to work in my website.

The background story:

I have multiple files in separate folders.

For example, I have my register file in /register/index.php and I have my homepage at /index.php.

I split the pages using php in order to make editing easier. My header is at header.php, and my footer is at footer.php.

The problem:

I don't know how to setup my links in the header.php and footer.php so that they work in different directories!

Example Page:



A header.php page:



Another way to do the same header.php page:




How do I get the links to css and javascript files in header.php to work with /register/index.php and /index.php without creating multiple header.php pages?

maybe i'm missing something obvious, but can't you just reference it like so?

/style.css

it would help if you told me where style.css is. i assume it's under the root folder. if it's under a subfolder (eg: css), then reference it as /css/style.css

That doesn't work (although I thought it would).

The problem is that I want to use the same header.php file for two different php pages in separate directories.

localhost/register/index.php and localhost/index.php

I can get register/index.php to work by referencing style.css like so: <link href="../style.css">

I can get /index.php to work by referencing style.css as <link href="style.css">

It took 3 hours, and I finally figured it out. The problem was that the folder after my root wasn't properly defined in my links. What you said helped me realize the issue, so thank you.

what a mess, look into using rewrite rules over anything like this
