Is the following an absolute path or a relative one?

/mydir/subdur/

Relative to the present domain, or defined local drive or root.

There could be millions of /mydir/subdur/ directories on the web,
so how could that be an absolute address, Anthony?

Umm...

[On a smaller scale, in a local surrounding without directories,
even a simple file name could be called an absolute path.]


Well you kind of answered your own question there. ;)

It was you having a Q, Anthony, not me.


Whether something is considered absolute or relative depends on the
size of the universe you are working in. Typically when developing a
Web Application I would call the path /mydir/subir/ an absolute path
because the universe I'm working in is entirely contained in a single
website.

You(!!) would, perhaps, when defining your own universe,
but you are wrong to generalize that.
