 It seems like you're encountering an issue with the behavior of
 plugin_dir_url and plugins_url functions when using PHP 5.2.17 compared to
 PHP 5.3.13. In PHP 5.2, these functions include the absolute file path in
 the URL string, leading to unexpected results.  To address this issue, you
 might consider upgrading your PHP version to at least 5.3 or a higher
 version, as you've mentioned that the problem is resolved in PHP 5.3. This
 is generally a good practice for security and performance reasons, as
 newer PHP versions include bug fixes, security patches, and improved
 features.  If upgrading PHP is not immediately possible or feasible, you
 could manually construct the plugin URLs by using constants like
 WP_PLUGIN_URL and appending the relative path to your plugin directory.
 Here's an example:  php Copy code $plugin_url = WP_PLUGIN_URL . '/my-
 plugin'; Replace 'my-plugin' with the actual name of your plugin
 directory.
