Question

Here is my root folder :

index.php
stylesheets(folder) --->main.css
includes(folder)    --->header.php
folder1  (folder)           --->page1.php

Here is link part of “header.php” (from includes folder) :

<link href="stylesheets/main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

Here is a part of index.php :

<?php include "includes/header.php"; ?>

Here is a part of page1.php (from folder1):

<?php include "../includes/header.php"; ?>

Problem is, when I open index.php everything is normal. As for /folder1/page1.php, it doesn’t see styles but see content of header.php. That is to say, it doesn’t bring main.css. Most probably, because of link href="stylesheets/main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" Any help?

Answer 1

Because you access files from multiple levels, you should use an absolute path.

So either href="http://domain.com/stylesheets/main.css" or href="/stylesheets/main.css"

But this only works (the 2nd one, and the one I recommend) when you have it on top level on your domain.
