How to get css file from any file using php? - php

Question

Here is what I want to state
I have this structure-
Now considering the directory I want to add the CSS file to all the files if I am using the project-1 > sub-project > subfile.php
then I should be using <link rel="stylesheet" href="../../asset/css/style.css" />
Again if I use the project-1 > file.php
then I should be using <link rel="stylesheet" href="../asset/css/style.css" />
Now even if I use index.php
then it should be like <link rel="stylesheet" href="asset/css/style.css" />
In short, I want it to access CSS file from any file dynamically. It's a type of autoloading whenever included.
I have tried something but it failed because it's not dynamic
$search = glob("asset/css/style.css");
foreach ($search as $ser) {
$ser = $ser;
}
if(strpos($ser,"asset") !== false){
echo "<link type='text/css' rel='stylesheet' href='asset/css/style.css'>";
}else {
echo "<link type='text/css' rel='stylesheet' href='../asset/css/style.css'>";
}
But the problem is it is not dynamic. Please provide a solid solution. Thanks a lot in advance.

Answer 1

I'm assuming you have domain name like:
domain.local
And your init style url looks like that:
href="asset/css/style.css"
Then you trying to access your project located under proj1 directory:
domain.local/proj1/index.php
using same styles method the url will look like this:
domain.local/proj1/asset/css/style.css
And they are no longer applied
Solution:
You need to use relative approach.
Try this in your link:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/asset/css/style.css" />
This will helps you no mater how many directories are, always grab styles using root as initial point.
Here are relative question: Why the CSS style is not applied in webpages within subdirectories?
