Keeping everything in the shirts4mike_local folder... [SOLVED]

So, if I wanted to keep everything in the shirts4mike_local folder, how would I update the BASE_URL and ROOT_PATH constants?

I mean...would the "shirts4mike_local go before or after the "/" that gets concatenated with either constant?

Like so?

define("BASE_URL","shirts4mike_local/");
define("ROOT_PATH",$_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "shirts4mike_local/");

Or, like so?

define("BASE_URL","/shirts4mike_local");
define("ROOT_PATH",$_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/shirts4mike_local");

I assume the former, because doesn't the BASE_URL end with a slash?

Thanks!

[SOLVED]

I figured it out, turns out, it needs a slash on both sides ^^;

Like so!

define("BASE_URL","/shirts4mike_local/");
define("ROOT_PATH",$_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/shirts4mike_local/");

Thanks just the same! :D
