Hyperlink not working as it should be...

[684425]

I am using xampp.
 

<a href="/">Home Page</a>

The above code (when clicked in browser) takes me to the localhost instead of localhost/website

 

How can i clear this issue?

This is an HTML problem.

 

Use /website instead of / for your link.

The same thing in a site

<ul class="col-sm-2 col-sm-offset-2">
            <li><a href="/">Home</a></li>
            <li><a href="https://secure.payza.com/login">Log In</a></li>
            <li><a href="https://secure.payza.com/signup">Sign Up</a></li>
        </ul>

The site is online.

The reason why you are seeing the home page of localhost is because you're using "/" which represents the base folder or URL.

 

If you have this file saved in a sub folder and you're trying to do something like localhost/website, you need to add the website name after the / because HTTP will assume that you are looking for the main page of the URL which is localhost.

 

Again, this is not a PHP problem. This is an HTML problem.
