I am trying to formulate a link to another page in my directory. It can either be done in the php code or the html. However for some strange reason, and only on this page, everytime i generate a url to a new page, the url generated is the page i am on + the url i want to go to.
For example, if i am on mysite.php and formulate a link to go to purchase.php then the generated url is mysite.php/purchase.php
Does anyone know why this might be?
<h1>Success</h1>
Link text
<?php
...
...
?>
this is essentially all i have with an echo saying hi! . What happens is, if i am currently on home.php the above url becomes path/home.php/page.php
You should create url for /purchase.php instead of purchase.php.

I've created a page with an article. On top of that there's a title. If people try to click this title I want them to be redirected to the same page.
Like this: https://gyazo.com/74350b4fe91c670c4101449ee1c928a4 If I click on the article it just refreshes the page.
I can't do this manually for every article because I'm using a script.
The code I've written looks like this:
echo ' <h1 class="entry-title">'.$row['postTitle'].'</h1>';
As you can see I wrote
<a href="/">
and that's will not redirect me / refresh the page i'm viewing.
This is how it looks for me: https://gyazo.com/8a15ae274d8a7240b07100395460568d
as you can see it does not redirect me to the same page when i click the title.
How can I do this?
To make your custom PHP blog post template be able to display a title link that points back to the page, one way is to make use of your $row[.... variable.
Provided that,
your URLS will look like your screenshots, such as http://localhost/viewpost.php?id=8 when running locally and for example http://www.yourwebsite.com/viewpost.php?id=8 when online
you know how to refer to the post's id that is used in the ...viewpost.php?id=8, for example $row['postID']
you don't yet have any variable or means to refer to your current domain http://localhost when local or http://www.yourwebsite.com when online
Then, I recommend a two-part approach:
Somewhere at the top of your code, or perhaps in an include you might use for such code-reuse purposes, define for example $host:
$host='http://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
Then, for your actual title link::
echo ' <h1 class="entry-title">' . $row['postTitle'] . '</h1>';
Explanation
Separated HTML from the concatenation dots . with spaces, to be easier to read, as well as to support any helper programs such as fmt that you might use for wrapping long lines, so they have spaces to use for wrapping lines.
Uses PHP's predefined $_SERVER variable's SERVER_NAME , which, combined with the http://, the $host will be http://localhost when local and http://www.yourwebsite.com when online.
Define $host as a variable once at the top of the page, because it is clearer that way and likely you will have a use for it elsewhere on the page, so this helps avoid having to repeat yourself writing 'http://'.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] everywhere else you may need to start forming the absolute URL
$host is then combined with the pattern for the rest of the URL, to assemble the absolute URL
Absolute URL is helpful so that if a user saves your article to their computer, then later clicks the title link on their locally saved article, the user can still correctly reach the original online page
As the article author, setting a link this way also means it can serve as a permalink, which helps with search engine optimization (SEO)
Please use # in href attribute! that will redirect you on the same page.
Problem solved. I used
echo '<h1>'.$row['postTitle'].'</h1>';
Thank you everyone.
In Codeigniter, I have a database containing a link of a site.
Each item(event) has a link to the event page.
Site
But instead of going to the desired site, it just adds the link to the existing url like this: http://web.site.local/index.php/evenementen/www.referedsite.com
when checking the html code it shows the following:
Site
Does anyone know how to make it go to www.referedsite.com instead of making it add this to the existing link?
You need to put HTTP://
Site
In codeignitor you can use
echo anchor('', 'Site');
// Prints: Site
Read CI Anchor
try
Site
Currently I have subdomain.mydomain.com, which redirects to mydomain.com/subdomain(I am using a PHP - codeigniter framework).
But all I want is after redirection url should remain subdomain.mydomain.com instead of mydomain.com/subdomain.
Is there any way to achieve this?
if you like to keep it pure html + php, i suggest you look into the iframe tag from html.
it is basically a browser window within your current browser window. Set the iframe to cover up 100% of your current browser window and set it's url to mydomain.com/subdomain.
what you'll see is that it's displaying content from mydomain.com/subdomain but your url field in your main browser is still saying subdomain.mydomain.com
Write this code in the routes.php file(present in config folder):
$route['mydomain.com/subdomain'] = "subdomain.mydomain.com";
Basically it's logic is
$route['route_you_want_to_show'] = "current_route";
But mind well in codeigniter routes are formed from the redirection of code to controller and its methods.
Hello I am trying to figure out how to make it so when someone clicks a link on my search results it will open in a new window and in the new window have an iframe that displays the url. I am not sure how to go about doing this. I have
$row['url']
that displays the url for each result to use.
To be more specific I am trying to do what filestube does. I like the feature a lot and would like to use something like it on my site. Here is an example url to show you want I mean http://www.filestube.com/5a4c10249bd9fce003e9/go.html
when the link is clicked on filestube it will open a page like this. I have seen lots of sites do this but filestube is what pops in my head right now. Can anyone provide me with a code example or try to explain how to do this? thanks.
You need to redirect to a URL inside of your application, example my_url.php and post to it in parameters the URL you want to show. Than in that script, load an iFrame with that URL.
Example of my_url.php?url=http://www.google.ca:
<div>You Header</div>
<iframe src="<?php $_GET['url']"></iframe>
<div>Your Footer</div>
The link should point to another PHP page. Something like this.
http://www.google.com
In your open-link.php, write your iframe code.
<iframe src="<?=$_GET['url']?>"></iframe>
Assuming you have PHP file named external.php
Make that PHP file accept a $_GET parameter.
Pass the URL as a param
Use that URL to point the iframe in that PHP file to whatever URL is passed
I opened a page and am following a couple of links with the click() method.
$this->selenium->open("test.html");
$this->selenium->click("link=testlink1");
$this->selenium->waitForPageToLoad("10000");
$this->selenium->click("link=testlink2");
$this->selenium->getHtmlSource();
Now I want to get the HTML source of the current page that I am on, but getHtmlSource seems to only get the source of the initial page from the open() call.
How do I get the HTML source of the page from 'testlink2'? The last link I followed and the current page I'm on.
Ok, so it appears if you do this, things work.
$link2 = $this->selenium->click("link=testlink2");
$this->selenium->getHtmlSource($link2);
Now, I'm running into a problem that getHtmlSource doesn't seem to returning everything. Looks like it has some sort of buffer limit :(
Also, it doesn't look like this technique will work on links to pages that require authentication. So if you login first, then click on some links, it doesn't work.
getHtmlSource should return the current page's HTML source. Your example might need an additional waitForPageToLoad between clicking the link and getting the page source.
