Defining a Home Path in PHP

September 9 2023

Had trouble with relative links
Couldn't use
```
__DIR__
```
or
```
__FILE__

because it returns a file path instead of a URL

            $protocol = (isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && $_SERVER['HTTPS'] == 'on') ? 'https://' : 'http://';

            if($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] === "stumbling.dev") {
                define('HOME_PATH', $protocol . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/');
            } else {
                define('HOME_PATH', $protocol . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/local-project-folder/');
            }

Fixed it by changing double quotes to single quotes

                    if ( card_name[0] == 'K') {
