Well if you look at this code:

<input size="40" id="video_link" name="video_link" type="text" value='/videos.php?id={$video[video].id}'>

You see the /videos.php?id={$video[video].id}

is it possible to put a code infront of it so it adds the website url to it?

I can't seem to understand.

Thanks.

Sure, but not recommended, makes your site less flexible.

But you can put your site URL in a variable, pass it to the template.

code:

---

$smarty->assign ("url", http://www.example.com");

---

code:

---

<input size="40" id="video_link" name="video_link" type="text" value='{url}/videos.php?id={$video[video].id}'>

In that case just don't change anything.

Just using /videos.php?id={$video[video].id} will already point users to "example.com/videos.php?id={$video[video].id}" or "somethingelse.example.com/videos.php?id={$video[video].id}" depending on which url your users use to access you site. In most cases there is no reason to prefix the domain in the code.

Maybe i'm not understanding your question?

I know that will still work but that code output's a URL to a webpage so it can be /videos.php... it will have to be http://example.com/videos.php?...

Understand?

Thanks!

but i need it to work no matter were its at so i don't have to edit the code and chnage the url..

Judging by what you pasted it will/should work no matter where it's at without changing any code. If it doesn't, link us to the page where the problem is so we can see what you mean.

$smarty->assign ("url", http://www.example.com");

Will that code no output http://www.example.com instead of my URL?

I think he means that the url should be the url of the website the code is on... So it doesn't matter on which site you place the code, it will always be the videos.php on the site you are viewing...

Notice that he's using an <input type="text">, so he probably wants something like this...



I'd post some code, but I refuse to help krissy.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.server.php

If you don't want to comb the entire page:
$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];

On this forum, that would give shoutbox.menthix.net.
On my site, it would give www.rpsoftware.net.
On your site, it would give your domain name.

code:

---

if(isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']))
   $url='https://';
else
   $url='http://';
$url.=$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
$url.=$_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"]
