php include .php and .html file from different directory dont load css and js

Question

i have folders like this

\htdocs\router\index.php -> main index file
\htdocs\router\view\ -> all html and php files 
\htdocs\router\view\asset -> all css, js , etc files
\htdocs\router\controller\App\main.php -> controller file

Now when someone point to http://localhost, the index.php create new object (new main() ) from main.php (class main) and executes index function (public function index() { ... }) . This function have does an include like this ( require 'view/login.php'; ).

I can see the output of login.php but all .css, .jpg, .js files wont load because they are declared in login.php like this :

<link rel="stylesheed" href="asset/style.css" type="text/css">

because the asset/ directory is located where login.php file is.

if i put href="view/asset/style.css" it's working .

The question is :

How can i include a .php file from other folder to make it work without chaning the href tag and without moving the asset folder up.

Refer to your assets from the root, rather than using relative paths. You can't go wrong when you do it that way. — ManoDestra

i know but the asset folder and login.php are both in view directory — 123onetwothree

If you can't/won't edit the login.php file there's nothing you can do. Well, there's things you could do but they're so convoluted they make very little sense to do. — Dave Ross

Your index.php should be in the view folder, in that case. It's a view, is it not? All your view files should be in there. — ManoDestra

Actually, you can't make it work without changing href as assets refer to the root, not in the path.

What you can do is make a symlink of view/asset to root, So it will assets will be accessible from both href="asset/style.css" and href="view/asset/style.css".

Using PHP:

symlink("view/asset","asset"); //index.php

Or Terminal:

ln -s view/asset asset

This is what i want to achieve. to just let asset/style.css in there and somehow make a link or something

Meathanjay Over a year ago

use php build-in symlink() to create a symlink view/asset to root asset. symlink("view/asset","asset"); OR from command line ln -s view/asset asset
