It depends. If you're using a serverside script then you can call any file on the server if you have access to it otherwise the file needs to be inside your web directory.

If you want to go back one step you can use "../". For example, if you're in mysite.com/folder1/ and you want to link to mysite.com/file.html you can simply link to "../file.html"

Yup. It worked perfectly. Thanks.

BTW, let me try to sneak another question in here without creating a new thread. Dealing with the same situation of two domains on one host, is there a way to call a file in another folder (either up a few folders, or over a few folders - but not directly beneath) without using the full address?

Like if you're in www.mysite.com/folder1/ and you want to link to i a subfolder of folder 1 you can just type in the end part of the url "subfolder1/file.html". But what if the file is higher in the tree structure, or worse- on another branch? The only way I know how to get to www.mysite.com/folder2/subfolder2 is to type the whole thing in starting with http:// Is there another way in html? (like backslash or something else that says go to top first then go down this tree branch)

Hehe. Give it a try and let me know how it works.

Mike, I know and that's what I meant. Here's a sample code of what I meant...

<?php
if(preg_match(\"/wife\\.com/i\", $_SERVER[\"HTTP_HOST\"])) {
  include(\"header_wife.php\");
} else {
  include(\"header_husband.php\");
}
?>

You are making what you want clear, well I understand you any way, but I don't know how to do it!

Oh, it's already set up to keep the root domain consistant in the address bar. What I need is for the page or server to recognize that URL and to load file A if it's from domain #1 and load file B if it's from domain #2. (I hope I'm explaining myself right)

(and if this proves to be a php only issue, TWF can move it to the appropriate category)

In PHP, try the below variable. If I'm not mistaking, it will return the domain name in address bar.

$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]
