Apache has absolutely no involvement in resolving relative paths in your HTML files to absolute URLs. The browser does this. All you need to do is use absolute URLs and everything will work fine. By absolute, in case you don't know, I mean starting with a / and being "from" the document root in the web server. For example, if you have a tag like <a href="arse.php">arse</a> and arse.php is in the same directory as index.php you need to change it to <a href="/arse.php">arse</a>. Another example... if you have <a href="somedir/crack.php">crack</a> where crack.php is in the subdirectory somedir beneath where index.php is you need to change the tag to <a href="/somedir/crack.php">crack</a>. You need to apply this to all URLs in your code, including stylesheets, images and javascript references. This should not be a difficult concept to grasp, so maybe I'm not explaining it right. If so please explain what you understand by what I'm saying and I can alter it to be more helpful. -Stuart -- http://stut.net/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
