My first post here…I hope that I don’t brake any rules and if I do please go easy on me 🙂
I have a page a.php with a simple form with one field: name
User puts his/her name and submits. File b.php is in the action field of the form and so it gets the form.
b.php needs to load a slideshow depending on the user input. Let’s say there is a folder “clients” and it has folders John and Mary. Each of these folders will have an index file and other sub folders of images, CSS, JS, etc. The index files have relative paths to the subfolders like: ./images/pic1.jpg ./display.css etc.
Here is my problem:
I want to load, say John/index.html without changing the URL that would be xyz.com/b.php
If I use an iFrame the source code will show that xyz.com/clients/John/index.html is loaded and if I use PHP include(“xyz.com/clients/John/index.html”) then the relative paths that are in the John/index.html won’t work.
I am trying to hide the physical location of the slideshow so I can always serve them under the same URL as far as the user can see. Changing relative paths to absolute won’t work because that will give away everything that I am trying to hide!
I have simplified the form, folder name, etc. to explain the problem. Could anybody suggest any solutions please.
I don’t fully understand the question but
<base>may help. It tells the browser to make all links from a page relative to another URL instead of where the page was loaded from
