    copied!<p>I have an include file which contains the header section for each of my pages. What I am finding difficult to grasp is the fact that my index.php file is in the root of my directory but my other pages are in the pages folder. How can I correctly link it so that when I am on the shows page for example, I can link back to the home page. You might just say do something like ../home.php but what happens when I am actually on the home page, how do I then link to the other pages because I cannot do show.php because it is not in the same directory as the index.php file. I have only one header file for all these hyperlinks remember which is why I am finding it difficult...</p> <p>My directory is as follows:</p> <p><strong>css</strong></p> <p><strong>fonts</strong></p> <p><strong>images</strong></p> <p><strong>includes</strong></p> <ul> <li>header.php</li> </ul> <p><strong>js</strong></p> <p><strong>pages</strong></p> <ul> <li>about.php</li> <li>classes.php</li> <li>contact.php</li> <li>noticeboard.php</li> <li>shows.php</li> </ul> <p><strong>index.php</strong></p> <p>Below are my links on what I have achieved so far:</p> <pre><code>&lt;li&gt;&lt;a &lt;?php if (strpos($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], 'index.php')) echo 'class="current"';?&gt; href="../index.php"&gt;Home&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a &lt;?php if (strpos($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], 'shows.php')) echo 'class="current"';?&gt; href="shows.php"&gt;Shows&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a &lt;?php if (strpos($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], 'classes.php')) echo 'class="current"';?&gt; href="classes.php"&gt;Classes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a &lt;?php if (strpos($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], 'noticeboard.php')) echo 'class="current"';?&gt; href="noticeboard.php"&gt;Notice Board&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a &lt;?php if (strpos($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], 'about.php')) echo 'class="current"';?&gt; href="about.php"&gt;Our Story&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a &lt;?php if (strpos($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], 'contact.php')) echo 'class="current"';?&gt; href="contact.php"&gt;Contact&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; </code></pre> <p>Thanks in advance</p>
