Help with php widget link

[AV88]

Hi all,

 

I've got a problem with a php code on my website. I don't know why, but the hyperlink is wrong, because it's taken also the link of the current page, before the one of the page of destination. (see the attachment)

 

 

Where is the mistake?

Thanks all for the help

This is the reason why you should always put a fully qualified URI in an anchor tag. Putting relative links into an anchor tag, if not well thought out, will create the problem you are having.

In other words:

BAD

 

<a href="/my/links">Links</a>

Good

 

<a href="http://my.site.com/my/links">Links</a>

 

You will have less of these problems.
