What is this line of code doing? - 4/15/2002 12:07:54
Could somebody please explain what this line of code would do and what it is calling and how it is calling it. I know that it is a link but I usually right links like <a href="index.htm" so what is happening below?:
<a href="../index.php?page=links&lang=" target="_top"><img src=img_sv/links.gif border="0"></a>
The reason why i ask is that i have often seen code that calls a page with these 2 dots and a forward slash e.g ../index.php where is it trying to call it from.
Also, what is this trying to call
?page=links&lang=
would appreciate if someone could explain this line of code so I can understand how to use it in different ways.
Thanks!

Hello contactcp! Are you involved in some sort of link exchange program? It looks like that link is calling a page named links and then asking for a language and its opening the link in a new window.
I'd have to see the page in question so I could determine what it is doing.

This means it is calling the index page form the directory above the one containing the page you are viewing.
It is a relative link. The ../ indicated that you need to go up a directory, the index.php is what should be displayed in that directory.
For example if I had the following set up:
Directory 1
|
Contaning---Subdir
|
In turn containing Dir (i)
A page in Dir (i) would access a page in SubDir 1 using ../page/htm
and a page in the main directory using ../../page.htm

The fact that the page being linked to ends in php means that there is some sort of a php script working inside it. This is a command to the script. What it actually does will depend on what the particular script is configured to make it do - there is no way to tell by looking at it.
