Hmm, I was expecting that. ;) Looking back, when you said that this code >echo("Go home"); > ?> would obviously create a trailing slash problem, I should have just said that it's true IF you code it that way. I should have just said that there's an ALTERNATIVE way of coding that wouldn't cr

If you really need to get picky, then I shall... well, point out the obvious: echo "Go to some folder"; And since we got into this, there are some servers where you don't have control over http config, so you shouldn't want to link to directories at all - you'd want to specify the exact f

Just a thought... If you're going to write an XHTML compatible code, you wouldn't really have this problem --> >echo("Go home"); since you'll probably write something like this: echo 'Go home'; Of course, I didn't mean that you can't do that with HTML... Anyway, for the original questi

I generally use both - the first for includes and the second for HTML links. Do NOT include the trailing slash. The reason is simple: Go home"); ?> is much simpler to write and follow than Go home"); ?> because you obviously can't write Go home"); ?> Please remember that since the trailing slash
