i created a controller and actions in zend.
if i type
"http://localhost/cms/public/controller"
then the css file is loaded correctly
but if i type
"http://localhost/cms/public/controller/action"
then headlink appears like
href='http://localhost/cms/public/controller/css/style.css" and it does not work.
Please help me!!
this is the correct way to add css & javascript to ZF Application
<?php
$this->headLink()->appendStylesheet($this->baseUrl("css/reset.css"))
->appendStylesheet($this->baseUrl("css/text.css"))
->appendStylesheet($this->baseUrl("css/960.css"))
->appendStylesheet($this->baseUrl("css/demo.css"));
echo $this->headLink();
$this->headScript()->appendFile($this->baseUrl("js/jquery-1.4.2.min"))
->appendFile($this->baseUrl("js/jquery-ui-1.8.2.custom.min"));
echo $this->headScript();?>
You have your css path set to "css/style.css". Set the css path relative to the root path. If your css is in /html/style/css/style.css, the link would be "/style/css/style.css"
Always remember the leading slash and make the static paths relative to the root dir(of the website).

I am trying to use PHP to read, then modify and echo an HTML file.
The included HTML file contains external JS, CSS references - all relative paths
for example...
<script src="js/myJavascript.js"></script>
Problem :
The location of the PHP modifier file is not the same as the location of the included HTML file, and therefore the external includes are not loaded. I guess...
The solution of using absolute paths to reference external resources in the HTML file is not ideal to say the least...
What can be done to tell PHP that the path context of the included HTML file is the same as the directory from which it is being included and NOT the directory of the modifier file?
Thanks!
Found a solution!
<base href="path_to_the_html" target="_blank">
according to W3Schools :
This would specify a default URL and a default target for all links on a page...
I am trying to make a template for my website.
Basically taking out all the common stuff out using php's include function.
I have made a navigationbar.php and samplepage.php.
navigationbar has all the links to stylesheets etc.
When they are in the same folder and I include navigationbar.php in samplepage it works just fine.
However when i move samplepage.php to a subdirectory (leaving navigationbar.php in the same folder) and
link navigationbar.php with the menu doesn't come formatted.
it seems samplepage is getting contents from navigationbar.php but navigationbar is not linking to the css files.
Can anyone tell what I'm doing wrong here?
i'm using xampp and have tried with both relative and absolute paths- (include '../navigation.php' and 'localhost/folder/navigation.php')
Make the paths of your css files absolute (i.e. start with / and specify the full path). This will allow them to work correctly from any path.
When including a file in PHP, the url's are relative to the file you are including into. Not to the file you are including.
So you need to change your paths 'navigationbar.php'
Try using something along the lines of this to link to your header/footer files:
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/path_to/header.php');
and then appropriately link to your .js/.css files within header.
Where your PHP files are has no direct influence. You have to make sure that the resulting HTML has the correct paths to all CSS/JS/img files etc. You may want to post your file structure here and show the code that calls the relevant CSS files.
I'm having problems with the paths to my first wordpress theme. Post images and stuff not related to css is located in wordpress_folder/blog-images/ and in index.php when I link to images I use this path: blog-images/img.jpg
The problem is now that when I want to link to the same image from another file (not index.php) in this case single.php wich displays one blog post, the correct path is now ../../../blog-images/img.jpg
This is causing problems in the includes like sidebar etc. sidebar.php works fine when called from index.php but the images path is changed if sidebar.php is called from single.php.
Does anyone know what's going on?
If you are creating these links from within php scripts, I would suggest using the site_url() function to get the URL for your wordpress install and then appending your images path to the end of that. If you are editing static theme files like css, then you should use /wordpress_folder/blog_images/img.jpg.
Something like <img src="<?php echo site_url() ?>/blog_images/img.jpg" /> should be sufficient from theme files.
The reason that paths are chaning is because if you are in wordpress_folder then the path blog_images/img.jpg resolves to wordpress_folder/blog_images/img.jpg but if you are on a post that has the url yoursite.com/wordpress_folder/2011/09/category/my_great_post then the path would resolve to wordpress_folder/2011/09/category/blog_images/img.jpg which is obviously incorrect.
For this reason you should try to use the absolute path or full URL so that no matter what file/folder/url you are linking from, the path will always be correct.
The main downside you may run into is that if you were to change the name of your wordpress folder, or remove it altogether, then you may need to make a lot of edits to reflect that. But in any case, you should put the / in front of your path so that it can be referenced the same from everywhere.
Also check out the site_url() reference page, it lists some other helpful functions at the bottom that may be useful to you.
I thought this was a little unclear from drew's answer, so I am adding a little bit more in a separate answer. His advice is sound and I agree with him.
If you prepend a url with a / then it will navigate based on your site url. Without the slash it uses relative navigation.
So here are some examples for www.mydomain.com
//always shows the image located at http://www.mydomain.com/myfolder/pic.png
//no matter what the url is
<img src="/myfolder/pic.png" />
//shows the image located relative to the current path
//if current url is http://www.mydomain.com/posts/ then the image will come from
//http://www.mydomain.com/posts/myfolder/pic.png
<img src="myfolder/pic.png" />
If you are creating links dynamically from php side then you will want to use site_url().
If you are creating links to your theme directory folder then you will want to use bloginfo('template_directory')
Consider the following directory structure:
ROOT
------ images
............... logo.png
------ includes
............... vars.php
------ layout
............... content.php
------ index.php
How do I define a path constant for logo.png in vars.php that is accessible in both index.php and content.php? Should be compatible with HTML Tags as a relative path.
<img src="<?php echo IMAGE_PATH; ?>">
which should be parsed as
<img src="images/logo.png"> <!-- if used in index.php -->
and
<img src="../images/logo.png"> <!-- if used in content.php -->
New Question (EDIT): Does root-relative path work when including php files using include / require methods?
Try setting the <base> tag in the <head> section of your code.
All your images, css, and js files will use this instead of the url in the address bar.
Info on base
Absolute url or root paths will give you the least amount of headaces. Trust me, when the system grows you'll regret that setup.
It is a perfectly legal way to reference things. (as you ask in the comments)
If you're worried about setups between domains, just create a config variable with the absolute path to the domain / directory / etc
You can use "root-relative" paths. Simply link to everything with a forward slash at the beginning, i.e.
<img src="/images/logo.png">
This will resolve to http://yoursite.com/images/logo.png from every page on yoursite.com.
simply specify all paths as relative to the root
<img src="/images/logo.png"> <!-- will work anywhere -->
I'd suggest, primarily, that you use root-relative paths. This is only to reduce the complications of moving your site to another host, and also it allows for consistent paths (rather than using an if() condition to test from where the script's being run).
But otherwise, your suggestion would be fine.
I would use something like an application base URL:
define('APP_URL', 'http://example.com/path/to/app');
echo '<img src="'.APP_URL.IMAGE_PATH.'">';
Or to have it more convenient, write a function that resolves your relative URL to an absolute URL.
I have a page with some HTML in it.
and I need to set the src property to the location of pictures.
How can I achieve that with Kohana PHP ?
Thanks.
It depends on where the images are located. In a standard Kohana install, the files are located in your document root and are accessible with the url::file() call, eg:
<?php echo url::file("images/foo.gif") ?>
would refer to:
http://example.com/images/foo.gif
