Question

I am new to php, but suspect there is a simple solution that I am not aware of.
I have made a template for the header on every page, but when the user loads pages the css page changes in relation to their current page.
How do I have php track how many levels up in a folder the user is so I can pull the css from anywhere in the website?

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

That is my current link to css, but for a page further down in folders I need it to add additional ../

Answer 1

You should use an absolute path from the root of the website (note, no “..” just a “/”):

<link rel='stylesheet' href='/templates/css/css.css' type='text/css' />

Will always work, as long as your css is at:

http://yourwebsite.com/templates/css/css.css
