Hi,

I'm using include to display a html file from a different directory to
the current working directory.

This page displays, but is missing all the CSS formating.

I'm assuming this is because it can't find the CSS because it's in the
different directory to the CWD.

So, the easy way out is to move the CSS, but I've got heaps of these,
and it makes it really messy.

The PHP looks like this:

include("xxx/index.htm");

the css is saved in the xxx folder.

I'm open to any suggestions, ideas?

Many thanks
Matt

Hi,

If you're linking to the style sheet in your HTML, then the path
should be relative to the current URL, e.g.:

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

The path can be absolute as in /home/xxx/xxx.css or relative as in xxx/
xxx.css.

Regards,

John Peters

I think your problem has to do with the difference between relative and
absolute URL references.

Do some googling about those and I think you might get your answer. If
you do not, and since this really has nothing to do with PHP, you can
email off list and I can assist you with the problem.

Thanks
