Hi, I am remaking my personal portfolio site www.pjsmedia.co.uk and i have a weird problem.

When i click on the 'about' tab the url comes up as http://pjsmedia.co.uk/about.php/portfolio.php/contact.php/portfolio.php/about.php

Why is this and how do i correct it. I have never had this problem before, and cant see any logical reason its doing this.

Please Help!

Since we have no idea what code you're running and/or web server URL-rewriting is in effect, it will be pretty difficult for us to debug that. In any case, I don't see the problem you're describing, so maybe you already fixed it?

nothings fixed yet, just click through the tabs and watch the address bar.. Its just simple HTML, just used php includes for the header.. the header is exactly the same as the source code.
Just tried it again and http://pjsmedia.co.uk/about.php/portfolio.php/contact.php/portfolio.php/portfolio.php/portfolio.php/
I dont understand why its not just http://pjsmedia.co.uk/portfolio.php or http://pjsmedia.co.uk/contact.php

When I click About I get: http://www.pjsmedia.co.uk/about.php

When I click Portfolio I get: http://www.pjsmedia.co.uk/portfolio.php

When I click Contact I get: http://www.pjsmedia.co.uk/contact.php

Don't know if it matters but I got the same results in both Google Chrome and IE 9.

As your pages are all on the root of the website, why not prepend a slash and make them absolute paths in html:

<td><a href="[COLOR="Red"]/index.php[/COLOR]" style="text-decoration: none">Home</a></td>
<td><a href="[COLOR="red"]/about.php[/COLOR]" style="text-decoration: none"><span class="style2">About</span></a></td>
<td><a href="[COLOR="red"]/portfolio.php[/COLOR]" style="text-decoration: none"><span class="style2">Portfolio</span></a></td>
<td><a href="[COLOR="red"]/contact.php[/COLOR]" style="text-decoration: none"><span class="style2">Contact</span></a></td></span>

I'd recommend that you start by fixing all the HTML validation errors, then see if you get uniform results among different browsers.

Well using the <a href="/contact.php".. cetainly worked.. the only problem not is the about page having a / after the URL, So its not picking up the images.

And just my magic, for no reason at all it decides to work!

Thanks for that guys!

You can also use absolute paths for images/scripts/stylesheets as well. That should help if you ever serve pages off the root of the webserver.

It is possible you were using cached content with the error. When in doubt clear your cache and check the source code.

What I was going to recommend trying is putting http://www.pjsmedia.co.uk/ in front of every URL in your code. If there are still problems then maybe look in your .htaccess file and see if there's anything in there? I don't know much about them but I know they can mess with your URLs.
