but remember the topic is about whether the trailing slash would create a problem or not. I think you're aware that there are some servers are not configured to understand that http://www.domain.com/somefolder is equal to http://www.domain.com/somefolder/ . So, NOT having the trailing slash might even create some problems. So, it's a matter of opinion (and use) whether adding a trailing slash would create a problem or not. So imagine how this code will work: echo "<a href='$theURL'>Go to some folder</a>"; - E On Friday, October 11, 2002 2:28 PM Bogdan Stancescu wrote: > Ok, then I honestly don't understand why anyone would rather write this > > echo "<a href='" . $myURL .
