anchor, absolute url address, relative url address and php solution?

[searain]

<a href="http://www.mysite.com/index.php"> links from the positions all over my site <a>

I have these hot links all over the site. I cannot use the relative ../../ urls here because, I don't know if the page is in a folder, a sub-folder or a sub-sub-folder. No matter where the page is, I want this link to point to the index page.

So I have to use the absolute urls such as http://www.mysite.com/index.php.

But I also want my site will work with out the specific http://www.mysite.com.

How can I handle this? I think using php finding the current location and then use relative url is a choice. Any codes?

Or it is just a simple HTML solution I happend to miss?

Thanks!

So, you just want to point to the index page of your document root?

No. My question was not clear.

I want to be able to use the relative urls using the root as the reference from everywhere to point to a certain page.

Like when we set cookie, "/" bring us back to the root, but

<a href="/"> </a> is not back to the root, am I right?

Thanks!

forget it! I was wrong.

I don't know where is my mind. Just use the root as the relative url for the anchor will be fine.

Thanks!

Yeah if you use URLs like <a href="/path/to/file.htm"></a> then it always starts from the bottommost level... ie that URL, no matter what folder you're in, points to www.you_domain_name.cmo/path/to/file.htm
