Answer 1

Try using

$dir = "/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/learning/";

as your main path with the files in it.

This full path or "../learning" should get you to the right directory to your files.

When creating a link you'll want to use "/learning/" + filename to give the path to the file.

Answer 2

Your link doesn't point correctly. When using xampp, the link should be relative to your htdocs folder, not your entire path:

/Learning/ListingFiles/first.txt

Note, that this would be the same link path you would use if your website were on the net using a domain.

It works when you use file:: because that explicitly states that the path is a file on your computer.
