I am teaching myself php (working through a textbook) and have hit a couple of problems. I've just spent about 4 hours trying to get the SITE_ROOT configured. I have selected public_html/exercises as the ROOT using
define("SITE_ROOT", "/public_html/exercises/");
Now, I on error I want to redirect to public_html/exercises/scripts/show_error.php. I'm using
function handle_error ($user_error_message, $system_error_message) {
header("Location: " . SITE_ROOT . "scripts/show_error.php?" . "error_message={$user_error_message}&" . "system_error_message={$system_error_message}");
exit();
to do that but each time I get
The requested URL /public_html/exercises/scripts/show_error.php was not found on this server.
What am I doing wrong?

Re: Problem with SITE_ROOT
You have defined your SITE_ROOT as a file system path:
However, in your function you are using it as a URL:
You probably want to define it as a URL instead:
Code: Select all
define("SITE_ROOT", "/public_html/exercises/");Code: Select all
header("Location: " . SITE_ROOT . "scripts/show_error.php?" . "error_message={$user_error_message}&" . "system_error_message=Code: Select all
define("SITE_ROOT", "http://mysite.com/exercises/");(#10850)
