    <p>I have a php file that works like a custom message displayer. I pass some variables with GET and it displays a message based on that. It also works as a 404 error page. The problem is; it has <strong>relative</strong> references, which are highly desirable because of portability, but they don't seem to work, after my <code>ErrorDocument</code> redirection to that file.</p> <p>file's location: <code>/a/b/c/custom_message_displayer.php</code></p> <p>When <code>httpd.conf</code> is set to:</p> <p><code>ErrorDocument 404 /a/b/c/custom_message_displayer.php?e=404</code></p> <p>and the error comes from a subdirectory eg. <code>/a/blah</code>, the <strong>active</strong> directory is in this case <code>/a/</code>, not the <code>/a/b/c/</code> to where <code>ErrorDocument</code> is redirecting, and that results in mislinking in the file (relative css, js, include() paths).</p> <p>I made a workaround that uses an additional file. But i'm concerned about this, and wonder if there's some more simple way of doing this. Perhaps an <code>httpd.config</code>-based redirection that also changes the active directory?</p> <p>The workaround:</p> <p><code>ErrorDocument 404 /additional_file.php</code> → this file redirects using: <code>header('Location: /a/b/c/custom_message_displayer.php')</code> also preserving/forwarding the GET query.</p> <p>The file then gets executed in it's directory, and all relative links work.</p> <p>Is there a simplier way of doing the above? Thanks for any bit of advice.</p>

    2. COSo, one has to force redirect on the user's browser to that directory. I wondered if this could be done with `RewriteEngine` triggered by `ErrorDocument`.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
