php not displaying images

[emvy03]

Hi guys,

I'm building a website in php and am trying to 'include' a php page into the main index file. However, the problem I have is that while images display fine in the standalone php file, when I 'include' this in my index file the images wont display. Instead I get the broken link symbol.

Thanks.

Most likely a path issue.  Post the image path dir, where the php file resides, and your include code.

If you have a directory structure that looks like this:

 

• home
  
  • images
    • navimg1.jpg
    • navimg2.jpg

    [*]includes

    • main_navigation.html
      

    [*]index.php

 

Keep in mind that the image path for main_navigation.html when it's included in index.php does not start in the includes folder. Instead it starts in the home folder since that's where index.php is located.

 

To avoid this type of issue, use root-relative links in the main_navigation.html file. So instead of:

 

<img src="../images/navimg1.jpg">

 

You could use:

 

<img src="/images/navimg1.jpg">

Hi,

Thanks alot for your replies! I was being a total prat, it was a path issue; I missed a '/' at the start of the code. Cheers for pointing it out.
