I have googled my brains out for this answer, but maybe I am not searching correctly with the correct terms. Surely I am not the only one to thing of this issue though.
Lets say I have inc_header.php
file that includes images with absolute paths since it is my header. ie. http://www.sitename.com/images/narf.jpg
Well, because these are absolute paths NOT set to https, the browsers are going to give me flack. 95% of my website doesn't need to be secured, only the payment process. However, the header STAYS THE SAME on every single page.
I did find this link: How to include PHP files that require an absolute path? However, this requires setting a variable, which breaks anything when I am working in design mode in dreamweaver.
I feel ridiculous for asking such a question that should be obvious to me, but alas, here I am. Thank you for any thoughts and help you may be able to provide.
