$fileDir = "http://www.xyz.local"; // supply a path name.

 

Since you add an ending slash in the $fileString, do that. Also echo out the $fileString to make sure that path is being populated right. Some debugging would have caught that. ALso this line:

 

   $fileName = "index.php."; // supply a file name.

Should be:
   $fileName = "index.php"; // supply a file name.

 

No ending period.

 

What is the end result that you want from $fileString? Like how should that string look?

Thankyou for replying

 

I want to check whether this is right:

 

$fileString = $fileDir.'/'.$fileName.'/'.$_GET["entryPoint"].'/'.$_GET["identifier"];

 

If I only use this it works as link is there(entryPoint and identifier is the attached string ie ww.xyz.com/entryPoint&identifier

 

$fileString = $fileDir.'/'.$fileName 

 

This is the error.
