bcfantasy Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I need to know how to display an image that is located in a different folder than the one my webpage is in. For example, say I want to display image1.jpg on sample.php. I store my images in mysite.com/images and the sample.php is located at mysite.com/very/deeply/buried/webpage/sample.php , how do I display image1.jpg? I realize I could use <img src="http://www.mysite.com/images/image1.jpg"> Is there a better/easier way?

twilightnights Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 you can do it 2 ways, relative to the path you are in, or an absolute path which you have shown. To go up a directory you use ../../../etc check out http://codepunk.hardwar.org.uk/bhtmlx12.htm Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/36964-solved-navigating-directories/#findComment-176440 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FierceBlade Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Like twilight said it would be <a href='../image1.jpg'> this goes back a directory, <a href='.../image1.jpg'> this goes back to your first directory that everything is located. So it would be as if: http://www.mysite.com/image1.jpg Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/36964-solved-navigating-directories/#findComment-176460 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfantasy Posted February 4, 2007 Author Share Posted February 4, 2007 Thanks for both of the replies. I hadn't seen the ... before, but I think that's what I want. Especially if I ever decide to move the page. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/36964-solved-navigating-directories/#findComment-176512 Share on other sites More sharing options...
