Hi,

I have a file called application.php and this file I define all of the
directories in my site:

class object {};
$CFG = new object;

$CFG->wwwroot = http://www.mydomain.com;
$CFG->dirroot = "/usr/home/myaccount/public_html";

$CFG->admindir = "$CFG->wwwroot/admin";
$CFG->claimsdir_adm = "$CFG->admindir/claims";
$CFG->clientsdir = "$CFG->admindir/clients";
$CFG->cssdir = "$CFG->wwwroot/css";
$CFG->expense_categoriesdir = "$CFG->admindir/expense_categories";
$CFG->projectsdir = "$CFG->admindir/projects";
$CFG->shoppingdir = "$CFG->wwwroot/shopping";
....

This works very well and means if I change a directory name or move a
directory I only have to update this file. application.php is included on
every page so all I have to do to link to another directory would be
something like:

<p>Click <a href="<?php echo $CFG->expense_categoriesdir;
?>?action=add_expense_category">here</a> to add a category</p>

The problem with this is that the URL's include the http://www.mydomain.com/
and are therefore not relative links. Is there a way to link to the root
directory from wherever I am within the directory structure?

Thanks for your advice
