[RESOLVED] Root-relative issue

[chrislead]

Hey,

Ok I think this is a simple fix but can't seem to get this working.

I have a main functions.php page which at the moment only contains the following:

define("ROOT","/my/site/root/",TRUE);

Then, on my php page I have a selection of php include functions that use this constant such as:

include(constant("ROOT")."docs/inc_head.php"); 

as you can see I am including the head of my page (constant throughout my website)

This works great!.........however......

in inc_head.php I have such info as meta info and links to css stylesheets.....This is the problem, when I try to use the ROOT constant again here I get nothing, the stylesheet is not found:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo constant("ROOT")."assets/css/style.css";?>" />

Any thoughts as to why this doesn't work? is it because I am using it within html, instead of php?

Thanks a bunch.

In HTML, the absolute filesystem path is transparent to the HTTP requests (the web-server handles it). Therefore, you can specify the web document root in HTML attributes simply as "/".

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/assets/css/style.css" />

Looks like I was thinking too much about it!

Works a treat LOL.

Thanks a bunch!
