Correct way to write path for a folder

I am using some free code on my website to upload images but having difficulty changing the settings.

$destination_folder		= './uploads/'; 

The above file is in /public_html/page/ and saves the pictures to /public_html/page/uploads/

 

How can I change the destination folder to /public_html/pictures/

 

I have tried a few obvious things such as '../pictures/' 

Any ideas?

Thanks,

If pictures is a directory in your webroot, as your example illustrates, then you can use /pictures

 

Because:

/ is the root folder (Webroot in your case)

./ is the current folder

../ is the parent folder

 

Also, if you do not put a slash, it is the same as ./

For example, pictures will load from the current directory
