Question

I have a problem with pathing my files to each other. are all directory pathing format the same? because in external links Ex: <script type="text/javascript" src="file_js/friendList.js"></script> is not the same with <img src="../FriendsList/image/defaultboysmall.png" /> but both code works. ex: ../folder/file.php or folder/file.php.

Example:

$.getJSON('/data_php/getFriends.php', function(data) {

$.getJSON('../data_php/getFriends.php', function(data) {

$.getJSON('data_php/getFriends.php', function(data) {

this line codes here doesn’t work for me, I don’t know why it acts this way. Please help, I’m no good with Directory Paths.

Thank you.

Answer 1

getJSON and its ajax ilk are based on urls, not the file system. You need to be using an appropriate path relative to the document root of the website.
