How can file paths and links be adjusted when including external content in a PHP page?

When including external content in a PHP page, file paths and links may need to be adjusted to ensure that the content is displayed correctly. One way to solve this issue is by using PHP's built-in functions like `dirname(__FILE__)` to get the current directory path and then concatenate it with the relative path of the external content. This ensures that the file paths and links are correctly resolved regardless of the location of the PHP file.

<?php
// Get the current directory path
$currentDir = dirname(__FILE__);

// Include external content with adjusted file paths
include $currentDir . '/external_content.php';
?>
