Question

        $username;
        $welcomeMessage;
        if( isset( $_SESSION['username'] ) ){
            $username = $_SESSION['username'];
            $welcomeMessage = "Hello $username! | ";
            $welcomeMessage .= '<a href="'.$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/nmc/Admin/LogoutProcessor.php">Logout</a>';
        } else {
            $welcomeMessage = "Welcome | ";
            $welcomeMessage .= '<a href="'.$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/nmc/Admin/LoginPage.php">Login</a>';
        }

The code above returns “file:///C:/xampp/htdocs/nmc/Admin/LoginPage.php”

I am using xampp to develop a website, basically uses its own server processing, therefore I can’t use the above link. I have several webpages in different directories which have to link to the LoginPage.php, and I need a standard link. The above code is in a Class where other pages in different directories can call it.

Can anyone tell me how to resolve this problem?

Thanks!

$_SERVER[‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’] returns

The document root directory under which the current script is executing, as defined in the server’s configuration file.

You could use $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] or absolute paths like <a href="/nmc/Admin/LoginPage.php">Login</a>
