image not showing with <? include("../header.php") ?>

[bickyz]

My webroot:

public_html
|_____mysite
                |___image
                |          |___all images here
                |
                |___photos
                |          |___gallery.php
                |
                |___index.php
                |
                |___header.php
           

I have a gallery.php page that INCLUDES header.php page like this [b]<? include("../header.php") ?>[/b]
When i run the gallery.php page the images are not showing at all.

Can somebody please help me.

Just the images aren't showing? Check the html source for their paths.
Use require, and turn on error reporting. If you actually get some errors, it's a PHP problem. Otherwise your path to your images might be wrong.

I have replaced the include with require but still its not working.

When i run http://www.mysite.com/header.php, all the image shows without any probs.

But if i run http://www.mysite.com/photos/gallery.php, the header page's images doesnt shows. In gallery.php page i have included header.php using [b]<? include("../header.php") ?>[/b]

Okay as I said, if it's JUST the images, you need to check the HTML source which is generated.
Right click on the page, view source, and look at the image src="". If it's wrong, you need to fix that path.

If you still can't get it, can I see the live example?

This is the link to the site im creating
http://71.18.194.21/mysite/index.php

header.php
http://71.18.194.21/mysite/header.php

gallery.php
http://71.18.194.21/mysite/photos/gallery.php

This is because the header.php gets included/required as if it were in the same directory as the file calling it.

Its just a HTML problem, im guessing on header.php the image is linked to image/bg3.jpg... instead try /mysite/image/bg3.jpg or http://71.18.194.21/mysite/image/bg3.jpg should work then.

thanks very much for help provided, i have used relative path like Eddyon said.

if you use the "http://..." path to your image files in your header.php, then it would solve the problem, i had this problem before, because when you are trying to include some page in other directories, images using relative path seemed to be recognize as the related path of the current file.
