Dat Quach @ FDU

In academic writing courses at FDU, you may (or are very likely to) be required to do research for articles and journals for your papers. FDU has support for many websites like SAGE and JSTOR where you can search for articles and view them with your FDU NetID so that you do not have to make your own accounts and pay for subscription fees. Recently, I have noticed that many students, including me, use Google Scholar to search for research articles and journals, because Google Scholar can list various papers from different sources, hence better variety of content. However, the problem is that FDU does not have support for Google Scholar, meaning students cannot use FDU NetID to log into Google Scholar. It is a drawback, though, as I have noticed, many results from Google Scholar come from sites like JSTOR and SAGE, which are supported by FDU. Here, the inner problem is that students have to use FDU NetID to log into each site at least once after clicking the respective links on ...

However, I have recently found a PHP trick that can resolve the problem. Define a Site Root The reason why relative paths break is because they are relative, meaning that these paths start from the directory of the file in which those files are located or to which those files belong (in code...
