Help, quick newbie question!

[Detangled]

Okay, I have a quick question.

I have all my .php files from my /website/ using /website/includes/header.php

the only problem is that, /website/newdir/page.php (which is supposed to use /website/includes/header.php) doesn't read the /website/styles.css because /website/includes/header.php is set to:

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

so i'm trying to change it to:

<?php 
  $rootdir = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
  $rootdir .= 'website/';

<link href="<?php echo $rootdir; ?>styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

or even

<link href="<?php echo $rootdir . 'styles.css'; ?>" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

but for some weird reason.. they both don't work!

hmm, can anyone help? Thanks in advance!

So did you look at the value of the href you're outputting?

DOCUMENT_ROOT is not the one you want, that's a file path, not something to go in a URL.

Presumably you just want it to display href="/website/styles.css". Since the site's root URL will be "/".
