Issue with formulating a url php / html

Question

I am trying to formulate a link to another page in my directory. It can either be done in the php code or the html. However for some strange reason, and only on this page, everytime i generate a url to a new page, the url generated is the page i am on + the url i want to go to.

For example, if i am on mysite.php and formulate a link to go to purchase.php then the generated url is mysite.php/purchase.php

Does anyone know why this might be?

<h1>Success</h1>
<a href="page.php">Link text</a>
<?php
   ...
   ...
?>

this is essentially all i have with an echo saying hi! . What happens is, if i am currently on home.php the above url becomes path/home.php/page.php

the issue is all with an html href or conversely an echoed href though :) do you want to see one of those?! — Biscuit128

We want to see all the parts of the code that you, as a scripter, think are related to the problem. — Shef

You should create url for /purchase.php instead of purchase.php. You can read more about what's the difference in here.
