I hope I'll understand it in the right way.
You browse your website http://www.example.com with a webbrowser. In the
source of it is written by PHP
<img src="/usr/local/yaddayadda/filename.jpg" alt="not found">

So your brwoser is asking the webserver for
http://www.example.com/usr/local/yad...a/filename.jpg

But I think it will be not the correct path because it seems to be a
complete unix-path starting from root. PHP will not deliver the picture it
self but only the relative path to it. (or relative path according to your
web root)

Tak så mycket! (Or recht schön Dank, depending on whether you're
ethnically big-endian or little-endian :-)

I got confused because Apache will accept absolute paths for
config instructions etc.

Apache will accept absolute paths for just about anything IF you've
configured it that way.

The normal default is to not serve pages/images not under the root.
