子文件夹中的Web项目开发

Question

For example i am working on 2 projects, A & B, both of them in future will be hosted in root directories. Atm i have one apache web server with default parameters and i want to start working, so i create folder A and folder B, where i will store all needed files.

The problem is when i ll use something like

<script type="text/javascript"  src="/resources/scripts/javascript.js" ></script>
<link  href="/resources/styles/stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

both of the projects will call this files from apache root folder (httpdocs), not from /a/ and /b/ folders.

Things get worse when i am using PHP framework, so i cant just use

<link  href="./resources/styles/stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

(dot before /resources/) because with routing project is trying to access controller like a folder and get resources from there.

Sounds like a small problem, but i cant figure it out and close this question for myself, so each time i need to develop something i invent workarounds again and again :)

Answer 1

A good way of handling this is to use a constant that holds the path to your project. That way you only have to edit that constant to get your paths right.

define('BASEDIR', '/a/');
echo '
<script type="text/javascript"  src="'.BASEDIR.'resources/scripts/javascript.js" ></script>
<link href="'.BASEDIR.'resources/styles/stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />';

This will turn your paths into

<script type="text/javascript"  src="./a/resources/scripts/javascript.js" ></script>
<link href="./a/resources/styles/stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />';

If you keep that constant in a seperate file you can include it where you'd need it. A php file that handles an AJAX request for instance.
