Home Directory...
What is the format for me to use that will take me to my root home directory.

I had some pages done and a change was done in the server that now none of my code works. So I am wondering if there is a structure I could use that would always take me to my home folder and I could use that always.

Something like: /home

Does this make sense?

RE: Home Directory...
if i understand correctly, i think this is what you mean

Code:
<a href="/">home</a>


no matter what page your on, that should take you back to your root directory

it can also be very usefull to specify image/css file paths begining with a /, so the file path is relevant to your site root, not the current directory

for example, if your browser is at
example.org/some/deep/dir/page.html

and you want to link to an image at
example.org/images/apple.jpg

you can just link like this
<img src="/images/apple.jpg">


that can be better than
<img src="../../../images/apple.jpg">

because for one it easier to read imo, plus it wont break if you move your html file.

RE: Home Directory...
You are right on the ball with the problem I am encountering. I used to have "../../" in my code and if I move the files, they would break. So, I am trying to figure out a way to go to my home directory structure.

The sysadmin reorganized the folder structure in the server and my pages are now broken. And regardless of the code I try to implement, it still doesn't work.

I tried what you mentioned and unfortunately did not have success.

Problem is that the server where the files are has one main website. And there is 1 IP address on that server that hosts a different website, ours. Hopefully that made sense.

So when I do the plain old "/" it takes me to the root level main site.

I also have the same problem with my php includes. They give me the following error:

Warning: main(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/stylesets/header.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/webserver:/home:/tmp:/u01) in /webserver/htdocs/mia/daily_staff/daily_staff_input.php on line 45

The only way to bypass this that I could think is to include the full path of the files, but I want to avoid that so that I can easily move my files form location to location.

Hopefully all this makes sense and you can give me an idea.

RE: Home Directory...
as for the html links, if your websites root folder is at

example.org/jweizenblut/


then code you links like this

<img src="/jweizenblut/images/foo.jpg">


alternatively, you can make use of the html <base> tag
<head>
<base href="http://example.org/jweizenblut/">
</head>


<img src="/images/foo.jpg">


as for the php side...


php Code:
Original - php Code 
  1.  
  2.  
  3. define ('SITE_ROOT', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/jweizenblut');
  4.  
  5. // then
  6.  
  7. include (SITE_ROOT . '/path/to script.php');
  8.  
  9.  



also take a look at ini_set() for 'include_dir'
