$_server['document_root'] and "save as"

[Pig]

I'm building a script and using document_root to make everything easier when he calls the files from a seperate folder. It seems to work fine with the include()'s but when I add it to a link, it prompts me to save the file instead of opening it. I'm testing in on my local machine (win xp, apache). The link looks like this:

echo("
     <a href=\"" . $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/scripts/file.php\">file</a>
     ");

Any suggestions? Is this some kind of server or php variable?

Umm, I think its because, the DOCUMENT_ROOT holds the path to the server root with respect to the Server's file system. So it will contain some path like "c:\program files\apache\htdocs", when a client clicks that link, it is actually looking for the file in the client's comp. So instead of DOCUMENT_ROOT, i think you shudd use:

$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']

which will have some thing like "www.your-domain.com"
