Php file upload outside root directory

Hi...
I am trying to upload files to a folder outside the root directory (public_html) like this /home/a3142058/upload/ws.jpg My script saves the image successfully to a folder outside the root directory, but when i try to access this image in my index.php page like this
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <image src = "/home/a3142058/upload/ws.jpg" height = "250" width = 250>
it did not show any thing

Looking for any help in this regard... Thanks

You need the fullpath or the relative path.
Fullpath means from the root directory, the path you have supplied is what your ISP has provided, this may not be enough.

Try a relative path something like ../../a3142058/upload/ws.jpg.
Or try to find the absolute path. There are php Filesystem Functions that may help
