POhref in css link won't load from previous directory
text
Body
copied!<p>So currently I'm a starting off web developer. I don't have much experience with how websites "should" be formatted. I am trying my hardest though to keep everything as organized as possible and I'm trying to think ahead before I program anything large ( ie: a website with a number of pages that may need to be updated in the future. ). </p> <p>So I decided to learn php so I can make websites more update-able and workable with a vast array of projects. So, I'm starting simple and seeing if I can keep all css in one spot so that it would be easy for any page to load from. Loading these cascading sheets I made a function in PHP to find their directory and then to load the actual php. BUT when I load the css from the direct path it doesn't seem to actually load. It actually seems that it is trying to load from the current directory as a relative path to the full path that I have. Thus problems of "file url forbidden" and what not. </p> <p>I've tried manually inserting the .css 's path, and using my php code -- But neither work.</p> <p>My php code looks like this </p> <pre><code><?php // This gives us the current path needed. $direct = __DIR__; $dirList = explode( "\\", $direct ); $length = count( $dirList ); $curPath = ""; $curPart = ""; for( $i = 0; $i < $length; $i ++ ) { $curPart = $dirList[ $i ]; $curPath .= $curPart . "/"; if ( $curPart == "mSite" ) break; } $curPath = str_replace("\"", "", $curPath ); ?> </code></pre> <p>And my linker looks like this</p> <pre><code> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/<?php echo ($curPath."css_sheets/navBar_sheet.css"); ?>" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/C:/Users/UserName/Desktop/unServ/New Testing/css_sheets"/> </code></pre> <p>Yeah, my code may definitely not look good, but I'm just starting out. Any help appreciated! I've looked all over the web and on this site but I just could not figure out how to word it properly - or no one seems to really have had this problem before.</p> <p>Ps: I've tried using "SRC" instead of "HREF" and i've tried putting the "/" before the path but none of its worked.</p>
