I have this basic question

Is this : 

<a href="userconsole/indivstore/<?php echo $obj->store_id; ?>/">
<?php echo $obj->title; ?></a>

Different from this: 

<a href="/userconsole/indivstore/<?php echo $obj->store_id; ?>/">
<?php echo $obj->title; ?></a>

Or is there no difference?

(I am using CodeIgniter at present)

    <a href="userconsole/indivstore/<?php echo $obj->store_id; ?>/"> is relative URL
    so if you are on http://host/site/current-page it will point to http://host/site/current-page/userconsole/indivstore/<?php echo $obj->store_id; ?> which is wrong

    <a href="/userconsole/indivstore/<?php echo $obj->store_id; ?>/"> is absolute URL so if you are on http://host/site/current-page it will point to http://host/userconsole/indivstore/<?php echo $obj->store_id; ?> which is wrong if your site is under a sub folder.

    the correct way to generate URL with codeigniter is using site_url() helper
