Building a Constant into a link

[A2enMOD]

Hi,

 

I have taken some advice on the use of constants from this forum and wish to move a step forward:

 

Presently I have "href" declared like the following:

 

<a href="<?php echo $base_url; ?>privacy" class="link">Privacy Policy</a>

 

But now I have a constant in the config file like this:

 

define('BASE', $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . "/");

 

So my question is, how to I replace the $base:url; with the Constant.

 

I hope that makes sense....

See where you echo $base_url? Replace the variable with the constant.

The problem I had with your solution is this:

 

it output: http://mysite.com/mysite.com/privacy

That's what it actually outputs, or that's where it directs you to when you click it?

Sounds like you're missing the http:// at the front of your constant.

 

Do some basic debugging on your own.

Yep you were right on the mark there. I changed it to:

 

define('BASE', 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . "/");
