Document root problem in Eclipse/PHP/Zend

Question

Environment: WindowsXP, Eclipse Galileo, Zend Community Edition

(I have configured Eclipse to use the PHP binary in Zend.)

I configured the Apache document root within Zend to point to my Eclipse project folder. So I can use URLs like this:

<form action="http://localhost/myscript.php"&gt;...

But this doesn't work work:

<form action="myscript.php">...

I get an error saying the file cannot be located at the given server location.

I find this strange because it should refer to the same location as the one with full URL.

Does anyone know what is wrong?

Kindly post comments if I should update with more info about my setup.

To be correct, you're may not refer to the same place. It always depends on the point in the filesystem where you actually are.

<form action="/myscript.php">

points to the same location. To be more concrete: Imagine you're running the script http://localhost/dir/subdir/script.php with the form action above, you'll one point to

http://localhost/dir/subdir/myscript.php

and once to

http://localhost/myscript.php
