Hello Marek,

No... You missed the point of this whole thread which was explained in
point 1 and point 2 of the "Problem" section.

Restated in different words is how do you write some code which is
dynamic enough to withstand reorganization of folders either on the
same host, a different host (maybe with a different OS too), or a
mixture of any.

In HTML, a css declaration as follows:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" title="Site CSS" href="includes/site.css" />

works regardless of where the page is, where it's moved to, and
regardless of how many folders down it is as long as there is indeed a
folder off the site root called "includes" and as long as there is a
file in that folder called "site.css".

How do we mimic that capability in PHP so pages don't have to be
re-written if point 1 or point 2 of the "Problem" are met?


Cheers,
Leif Gregory
