Path problem..

[bugzy]

I have this problem on my path and I'm confused on what to use among relative, document or root relative path. I'm doing this on my local machine so absolute path is not in the option..

 

 

All my admin pages are on a folder named "ADMIN"

 

I have this

 

 

function for my session

 

<?php 

session_start(); 


function logged_in()
{
return (isset($_SESSION['member_id']) || isset($_COOKIE['member_id']));
}


function confirm_logged_in()
{
if(!logged_in())
{

	me_redirect_to('login.php');
}
}


?>

 

 

 

the problem here is on the line me_redirect_to('login.php');

 

Since my I'm calling the fucntion on all admin pages.. it will keep on saying that

The requested URL /prac/admin/login.php was not found on this server.

 

It's adding the folder on the url where the admin pages is located.. it's supposed to be only

 

/prac/login.php

 

 

Anyone?

../login.php ?

[Jessica]

me_redirect_to('/prac/login.php');

 

What is the me_redirect_to code?

[bugzy]

../login.php ?

 

xyph problem with that is, I'm going to also use that function on other files that are located on different root level including the files that are located on the root. So I'm looking for a solution that will cover all files regardless of where their locations are..

[bugzy]

me_redirect_to('/prac/login.php');

 

What is the me_redirect_to code?

 

 

jesirose

 

function me_redirect_to( $location = NULL ) 
{
		if ($location != NULL) 
			{
				header("Location:{$location}");
				exit;
			}
}

Well, you're either going to have to use absolute paths (you SHOULD be, the Location header spec requires an absolute URI), or your're going to have to calculate where your executing page is in relation to the root.

 

http://php.net/manual/en/function.header.php#refsect1-function.header-notes

HTTP/1.1 requires an absolute URI as argument to ? Location: including the scheme, hostname and absolute path, but some clients accept relative URIs.

So...did you try what I said??

It's working now... Though I might use absolute path instead to avoid more headaches in the future

 

Thanks!
