Hi there.
I have an included file (header.php) that contanis a reference to a graphic.
If I stay at the root level, then I can control the relative path of the
image.
eg. images/imagename.jpg
However, if I include this file (header.php) in a lower level directory then
of course, I end up with no image displaying as the relative path is no
longer correct.
Currently I am using the following to provide an absolute path to the image.
$path = "http://".$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]."/images/";
$image = $path."imagenam e.jpg";
echo "<img src=\"$image\"> ";
This works fine, but looks klunky.
I would like to avoid specifying an absolute hardcoded path name so I can
load this function on any site I choose.
Any suggestions as to how to get images displaying when including a
header.php file in a lower lever directory?
Your assistance is appreciated.

How about just
$path = "/images/";
$image = $path."imagenam e.jpg";
Wouldn't that achieve what you want? But if you need a
complete URL, then I think you're doing it just right
the way you are now.
But unless you are running a whole range of hosts that
all have the "/images/"-dir, I can't see what's wrong
with specifying a hardcoded, server specific path, since
you'll have to specify the "images"-part of it anyway?

Well, I learn something (fundamental) every day.
I didn't realise what the / did at the front.
And now I do.
Thanks muchly.

I think that it is the best to always use absolute path. That way you
can move your files within folders, without breaking urls.
If your path is always the same you can always use:
$path = "/images/";
$image = $path."imagenam e.jpg";
echo "<img src=\"$image\"> "; This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

If I'm working on a project, I'll usually create a folder to contain all
the project files before uploading this to the root of the production
server. The trouble is that if I do:
include('/myfile.php')
this looks at the root of local host, as it should and not at the root
of the working directory. It means that if I want to use absolute
links, I have to change them before I upload.
Or am I missing something blindingly obvious?

Hi, I'm trying to do something that has always been easy with tables -
namely use a three column layout, and above the main layout, show three

browsers display slightly differently.
However, using the CSS and code below, either the first image is not

possible).
I need to read the names of all the files inside a folder off my web site.
The catch here is that I don't know the absolute path here
(C:\inetpub\whatever\whatever\etc...) as it could be on any drive at my ISP.
Is there a way to retrieve a list of these files by somehow using the

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
