URI is the same like relative URL?

Question

I am making own URL generator and there is a problem. I have absolute URL and I need to get relative URL from it.

Relative URL is path and query, like URI, so is this the same?

The question is not very clear. Can you please explain it better? Thanks. — Greeso, Sep 20 '14 at 01:14

the relative url depends on the context.

absolute is: c:/home/user/test.zip

relative (when context is c:/home) to test.zip is: ./user/test.zip (or user/test.zip)

You did not answer my question. I asked, if URI is the same like relative URL. – Peter Hanba Aug 30 '14 at 23:15
URI is not relative URL. (Edit: i am wondering if it is not easier to just look at wikipedia) – Ben Aug 30 '14 at 23:27
