problem when making link in php

[iwant2learn]

Hi guys, how are u?
Can u help me solving my problems?
When I make a html program which makes links to a php file in order to make a form something like
<form action="file.php" method=get>
coz i directly write the filename, so after i open the html page and click submit, then it will directly connect to my computer folder, such as C:\php\file.php not connecting through my ip address(ps. i already open my apache )
I think this is something like broken link. I know that i can solve the problem just by writing the web address to my php file instead of just writing file.php.
But can anyone help me with this problem? Coz I think there is an answer to this one.

Thanks a million 🙂

correct me if i'm wrong, have you saved file.php in c:\php..?
if so, you should move(copy) it where your html file is (eg. c:\program files\apoache group\apache\htdocs\site

hope that helps

I also put the html file in C:/php/...
But when I click submit button, it directly links inside my computer not through apache. C:/php/file.php instead of [url]http://.../file.php[/url]
thanks

did you make c:\php your root directory for apache?
if not, copy the .php files to where they belong 😉

yes, i already made the root at c:\php...
if i make a link a php file which links to another php file in that folder ("file2.php") it will connect appropritely (connecting to http:\...\file2.php), but when i put the same link in a html file, it will just connect to the folder inside the computer. C:\php\file2.php
