Shadowing Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 well of course its showing the alt haha Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/258970-firefox-wont-read-image-source-from-the-root/#findComment-1327561 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 If your planning on using that code on the web it won't work because C: is not accesible. You need to start from the root of your server, not your OS. Probably: /system_lords/images/26hicon.gif Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/258970-firefox-wont-read-image-source-from-the-root/#findComment-1327563 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadowing Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 oh maybe i just cant use that when looking for files that are in the same folder. I dont understand why it would try to search in the guide folder with that link Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/258970-firefox-wont-read-image-source-from-the-root/#findComment-1327570 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowing Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 well for this situation i can do this to make it work <?php require("../header.php"); ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/258970-firefox-wont-read-image-source-from-the-root/#findComment-1327574 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 You have to understand the difference between server side and client side. Browsers run on the client side and can only access as far up your filesystem tree as the servers root. PHP on the other hand runs server side and can (generally) access any file on the computer the server is running on.

kicken Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 You can read through this other thread for a rather in-depth discussion of web vs filesystem roots and when/where to use them.
