relative vs absolute URLs?

I am retrieving a web page and then taking an inside table to display as an
RSS feed. However, there are some relative URLs in there. Of course they
work perfectly fine when using IE and navigating to the page. However when
I scrape the html out, and load into a temp file, they longer work due to
the relative urls.

Is there an easy (ie a method to run over the html table or the request) to
transform the relative URLs to absolute ones? I was thinking I would have
to take out the html table I'm interested in, and using a loop, go through
searching for the relative urls and replace with absolute ones. Is this the
best way?

Thanks.

Is there any function for combining an absolute and a relative URL to result in an absolute URL? Like if I have http://www.domain.com and "../images/1.jpeg" it will evaluate to http://www.domain.com/images/1.jpeg. I know WinInet for windows has a function that does this called InternetCombineUrl, I just need the same function in PHP

Hi there. I have an included file (header.php) that contanis a reference to a graphic. If I stay at the root level, then I can control the relative path of the image. eg. images/imagename.jpg However, if I include this file (header.php) in a lower level directory then of course, I end up with no image displaying as the relative path is no longer correct.

I recently began maintenance work on a production web server that is located in the root directory of a web server. I moved this into a sub web on my local web server in order to do work on it. I found that there is an include file that references images: <img src = "/images/Header.gif" What worked correctly on the production server breaks on mine because of the absolute address "/images". I removed the absolute address and changed...

After doing a websearch, it appears that it's OK to omit the "http:" to form a relative URL. Are there any pitfalls to this? For example, if there is a page http://www.domain1.com/page1.html with a link to http://www.domain2.com/page2.html you can abbreviate the second link as //www.domain2.com/page2.html

A customer of ours using .NET 2.0 on Win2003 is seeing relative URLs passed to Response.Redirect() being converted to absolute URLs in the Location header. For example '/test.aspx' becomes 'http://www.myserver.com/test.aspx'. We're not able to reproduce this on our machines. Does anyone know of a setting or configuration that would cause this behavior in Response.Redirect()? Thanks, Paul

Aside from the deaths of a few extra electrons to spell out the whole root relative path, is there any down side? It seems to me that theoretically it shouldn't make any difference, and it would make it much easier to slap modualar blocks of markup into page frameworks, which may change and so forth. And the few extra bytes, which even for a fairly large site would not amount to as many bytes as are in a fairly small low-res image, should...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
