If you have an account why not take a look for yourself? Either that or get to the real question.

but there is no default 'cache' folder.

 

then another doubt is what is the 'Absolute path' ($_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT])

and what is the difference between root directory and absolute path?

Well, that answers your question then doesn't it.

Absolute path to what? Your document root? $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] should tell you.

 

and what is the difference between root directory and absolute path?

 

An absolute path is the absolute location to a file or directory. Your root directory refers to the 'base' directory of your web accessible file structure.

thank you

 

then I tried following code

<?php
echo "--> ".$absolutepath_to_root = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];   // for me  it gives something like this - /home/content/t/h/a/mywebname/html
?>
<img src= "images/Header.jpg" />
<img src= '<?php echo $absolutepath_to_root."/images/Header.jpg" ?>'  />

 

It output first image (usual way).

But second one dosen't, as you mentioned this should  also been worked, am I right? OR something wrong with me ?

An absolute path to your servers root means nothing to a browser because it can't reach it via its absolute path. Instead, a browser reads / as being your servers root.
