Re: [PHP-WIN] Slash problem in link

[Student]

I think its better to have the image folder in the root directory eg 
www.website.com/image and then have the code as <img src="/image/website.png" />.  
That way, it would be able to access the image from anyway in your web site...(I Think)

  With the "/" you are delcaring that the image is in the directory "images", 
  relative to the server root (maybe "c:\program 
  files\apache\htdocs\images\onlylogo.gif" giving a webaddress of 
  "http://www.mywebsite.com/images/onlylogo.gif";). Whereas without the "/" you 
  are declaring that the image is in the "images" directory, relative to the 
  PHP script (or HTML page) (maybe "c:\program 
  files\apache\htdocs\MYWEBSITE\images\onlylogo.gif" giving 
  "http://www.mywebsite.com/MYWEBSITE/images/onlylogo.gif";). So I think it is 
  just a HTML problem.
