Relative vs. Absolute Paths

Defining:

Absolute Paths = the entire path to the resource
Relative Paths = part of the absolute path, assumes the missing first half is in the current working directory
- You can only use relative links when linking to pages or files within your site, and you must use absolute links if you're linking to a location on another website.

Demonstrating Relative vs. Absolute Paths

A relative path on my default home page, index.php, leads to the about directory's test HTML file

The about page has three more absolute paths, two on my own web server and one to a classmate's server

Here I have four relative paths and one absolute path
This means that the relative path directories have to be subdirectories in locations

On the Montreal Page, I included an image that I had to download using the wget command
