If you really need to get picky, then I shall... well, point out the
obvious:
echo "<a href='$theURL/'>Go to some folder</a>";
And since we got into this, there are some servers where you don't have
control over http config, so you shouldn't want to link to directories
at all - you'd want to specify the exact file to link to, as in
echo "<a href='$theURL/index.php'>Go to some folder</a>";
