STAGE 2 CHALLENGE TASK 1 OF 3

The PHP file below contains code for the page on a website. It is named index.php, and it is located in the htdocs/about/leadership subfolder. The web address for this web page is http://localhost/about/leadership/. The HTML for the page has an anchor tag that is supposed to link to http://localhost/contact/, but it’s broken. Fix that link, using a root-relative web address.

about/leadership/index.php 
<html>

<head>
     <title>Leadership | Shirts 4 Mike</title>
</head>
<body>

    <h1>Leadership</h1>
    <p><strong>Owner:</strong> ????</p>
    <p><a href="/contact/index.php">Contact</a></p> 

</body>
</html>

If you are supposed to be linking to the root-relative address for http://localhost/contact/, then the address should read /contact/ not /contact/index.php.

It appears to me, you should use the following line of code:

    <p><a href="/contact/">Contact</a></p>
