Displaying images


Recommended Posts

Hi

I am not a PHP programmer but am tring to use PHP through the Dreamweaver interface. WHich I why I may seem rather stupid.

I would like to display images and this little bit of code works fine when the images are in the same directory as the php file.

[color=blue]<img src="<?php echo $row_Recordset6['Name']; ?>">[/color]

However, I don't seem to be able to get my head around the code required to be able view the images if they are in another diectory.

Can someone please help.

If you want to get image/file from another directory you'll either want to use a relative path or an absolute path

[b]Relative path:[/b]
[code=php:0]<img src="../other_dir_name/<?php echo $row_Recordset6['Name']; ?>">[/code]

The ../ goes up one level from the current working direcotry (where the script is running) and then goes into the other_dir_name directory

[b]Absolute path:[/b]
[code=php:0]<?php
$fullPath = 'http://' . $_SERVER['HOST_NAME' . '/other_dir_name/' . $row_Recordset6['Name'];

echo '<img src="http://' . $fullPath . '">';

?>[/code]

Absolute path is where you provide the full path to the file/folder.
