POPHP root folder directory - include_once and echo

Body
copied!<p>I am struggling to figure out how to make my life easier with php by including php/html template files using the include_once ('asset/header.php') function for example. I am also wanting to use this for the css and js links on each web page. An example being:</p> <pre><code><link href="css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet"> </code></pre> <p>What I want to achieve with each of these, is the ability to add a 'ROOT' or $baseURL for example before the link, so:</p> <pre><code><link href="<?php $baseURL ?>/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet"> </code></pre> <p>and </p> <pre><code>include_once ('$baseURL/asset/header.php') </code></pre> <p>I KNOW that the above is nowhere near right, I am not experienced in php programming, I just know it can make my life a lot easier when it comes to document paths. The problem I want to solve is simple: I don't want <code><img src="../../../../img/IMAGE.jpg></code> and include_once <code>('../../../assets/header.php')</code> ^^ Examples here of course</p> <p>I just want to put one generic code of php to print the root url before the image, css, html etc document path that it will include or import. </p> <p>I have read a few instructional forums about this, but unfortunately, nothing I can figure out with my limited php experience. I would like to put the php root files in a config.php and restrict direct access if possible? </p> <p>Also, I am currently using MAMP on mac. I have heard localhost may not work with some solutions, so any advice there will be great too!</p>
