I'm having trouble linking to my subfolders. After I click on a subfolder, any subfolder's path would appear twice in the address/url.

Here's what happened (domain and subfolder names are made up)...

I went to directly to the subfolder: www.mydomain.com/drinks

Clicked on the link to subsubsubfolder

Arrived at www.mydomain.com/drinks/caffeine/coffee/

Clicked on the link to another subsubsubfolder...

Page won't load because the address was www.mydomain.com/drinks/caffeine/coffee/caffeine/tea... when it was supposed to be www.mydomain.com/drinks/caffeine/tea

I don't know if I'm linking the folders wrong. I tried typing out the full path, but that doesn't work. The repetition of subfolders in the address still happens when I do the same thing listed above.

At first, I linked those subfolders like this (they're supposed to be a part of the navigation bar, by the way):

<a href="caffeine/coffee">Milk</a>
<a href="caffeine/tea">Tea</a>

Then I tried:

<a href="http://www.mydomain.com/drinks/caffeine/coffee">Milk</a>
<a href="http://www.mydomain.com/drinks/caffeine/tea">Tea</a>

Then I tried:

<a href="caffeine/coffee/index.php">Milk</a>
<a href="caffeine/tea/index.php">Tea</a>

Then I tried:

<a href="http://www.mydomain.com/drinks/caffeine/coffee/index.php">Milk</a>
 <a href="http://www.mydomain.com/drinks/caffeine/tea/index.php">Tea</a>

None worked. What am I doing wrong? Please help me.

Edit:
drinks, caffeine, coffee, and tea are all folders and they each have their own index.php file

here's how the folder hierarchy looks like:

public_html
|
drinks
|
caffeine
/ \
coffee tea


(there are a lot more folders actually xD )

inside the coffee folder you have folder inside named tea? or is that tea a php file that is inside the coffee folder?

[please read edit, sorry]

try for the tea folder

  <a href="http://www.mydomain.com/coffee/tea/index.php">Tea</a>

Hi Cyrus,

I actually already tried what you suggested, but I went ahead and tried again. Guess what?! It worked!!! I don't know or understand how, but it worked this time. When I hover over the links, there was no more subfolder repetition. I then took out the "index.php" part and it was still working.

Thank you very much. ^_^

Edit:
I wish I can find out what caused the problem in the first place xD

in the examples you showed us the first three examples were wrong. You have to put the index.php in order to tell the browser to go there, because there could be other files inside tea folder or the milk folder. For example you can go to

<a href="http://www.mydomain.com/drinks/caffeine/tea/example.php">Example</a>
that would take you to example.php.

Now the last example you gave us was actually correct, don't really understand how this wouldn't worked, but since it worked the second time you did it maybe, you mistyped something in there.

Another way of doing this is

The links for the caffeine folder

<a href="/tea/index.php">tea</a>

Links in subfolders inside the caffeine folder

<a href="../tea/index.php">tea</a> 
or
<a href="../coffee/index.php">tea</a>

Cy
