If you really need to get picky, then I shall... well, point out the obvious: echo a href='$theURL/'Go to some folder/a; 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

Hmm, I was expecting that. ;) Looking back, when you said that this code ? echo(A HREF='$my_URLhome'Go home/A); ? 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

Just a thought... If you're going to write an XHTML compatible code, you wouldn't really have this problem -- echo(A HREF='$my_URLhome'Go home/A); since you'll probably write something like this: echo 'a href=' . $my_URL . 'homeGo home/a'; Of course, I didn't mean that you can't do

Ok, then I honestly don't understand why anyone would rather write this echo a href=' . $myURL . home'Go home/a; instead of this echo a href='$myURL/home'Go home/a; IMHO, the second comes more natural to write, is easier to understand at a glance, is less prone to errors and, well, it's

Well, I agree about what you said IMHO, the second comes more natural to write, is easier to understand at a glance, is less prone to errors and, well, it's shorter! but remember the topic is about whether the trailing slash would create a problem or not. I think you're aware that there are
