[SOLVED] mod_rewrite Links problem

[bluebyyou]

I have my rewrite rules working how I want them, however my links that I am dynamically creating are not

 

for example my link is:

 

www.website.com/article/1/1.

 

when i click a link on that page it becomes:

 

www.website.com/article/1/1/article/1/1

 

and if i click it a third time it becomes:

 

www.website.com/article/1/1/article/1/1/article/1/1

 

and so on...

 

the current path repeats it self over everytime I click it

 

Here are my rewrite rules...

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^article/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)$ article.php?categoryID=$1&articleID=$2 [NC]
RewriteRule ^article/([0-9]+)$ article.php?categoryID=$1 [NC,L]

 

here is a sample of me creating a link

 

echo "<h3><a href='../article/".$display_category['category_id']."'>".$display_category['category_title']."</a></h3>\n";   //Show Category Title

 

also i tried using ../../ etc in front of the links, but then the more you click the the link the farther back in the directory it goes. so that didnt work  either.

I don't see why you need ../ at all.

surely just:

href="/article/' . $display_category['category_id'] . '"

would suffice?

thorpe,

 

I did not need that, it was my attempt at a solution that did not work.

 

Dragen,

 

that did the trick, thanks.
