help with my code

[Harbinger]

here is the situation:

i have a directory

/htdocs/root/stuff/sampleurl.php that i made a navigation script for.

within this page part of my nav script calls a page that resides in the root directory...but instead of pointing there it points to the directory the script is in. that all makes sense to me..but i can not quite figure the code to make is go back a directory to "root". any tips?

<?PHP
echo "<a href=\"contact.php\">";
echo "Contact Us";
echo "</a>";
?>

You mean

<?PHP
echo "<a href=\"../contact.php\">";
echo "Contact Us";
echo "</a>";
?>

[/B]

Or something involving $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] (as listed under "Predefined Variables")?

hmm thats odd. i thought i had tried that. now i feel even dumber than normal. 🙂

Probably it's such an obvious thing that when you thought of it you dismissed it by thinking "Nah, too obvious, must've already tried that". Starts to happen a lot when you've been working too long...
