include problem

[chris]

i have a page that INCLUDES another page but when the second page is
included all the images are not showing.

it is because the image url's are relative not absolute so the page is
looking for the images relative to the main page location not the include
page location - i dont want to have to change all the url's for the images -
is there a way around this

thanks in advance

You answered your own question.
The image paths must be relative to the script that is trying to display
them.

and DONT cross post.

You may be able to use the <BASE HREF=""> html tag. But that would probably
screw up the links and images on your first page.

Or you may be able to use preg_replace to change the image SRC values. That may
work well if you have consistent syntax in your html.

If the included page contains the whole HTML page as in:

if(isset($_POST['something'])) {
do something;
include("otherpage.php");
exit;
}
else {
display page;
}

you could easily use

header("Location: otherpage.php");

instead of the include command. Like that the url of the page you display
corresponds to the actual place where the file is stored, so you don't have
a relative path problem.

Thanks that worked i just did this and it worked great thanks

<BASE HREF="relative link for the include file">
<?php include("include file") ?>
<BASE HREF="relative link for the main file">
