Relative or absolute URLs in PHP

[BLiZZaRD]

Little better Thanks for that.

So.... URIs include all URLs, but not all URIs are URLs? And all paths* are both?

(*In the sense of an address/path related to the location (relative or absolute) of a file/document on the web/in programming/coding/scripting.)

Yes. URLs are a subset of URIs.

And all paths* are both?

I'm not quite sure where you're going with that. A path in a file system, for instance, isn't the same as a URI path. They might look the same, and relative file system paths might even resolve against a base path (the working directory) in the same way that a relative URI resolves against a base URI, but they aren't the same thing.
