using full URL for img

[coderb]

Hi all,

A newbie question.

How do I define the full URL in my html image? So instead of

<img src="images/top_invoice.gif" width="560" height="33"/>

 

I'd like, something like <img src=.relative url./images/top_invoice.gif" width="560" height="33"/>

 

thanks

Let me rephrase the question:

 

Is there a maybe a host variable or function that gives me the full URL of the current page?

 

thanks

Depends on how you want to pass that information. If you used a set variable then you'd just do this:

 

$imagepath = "/path/to/image";

 

<img src="$imagepath/images/top_invoice.gif" width="560" height="33">

I'll explain how I'm trying to use it.

 

I'm building an html page dynamically, previewing the content in the current page and then writing it as page.html

page.html is written to a different directly, so now I have the problem that images dynamically added have the wrong path.

To fix this I would need to use an absolute/full URL for the image location, but don't want to hardcode it.

just thought there must be a way to get the full path of a current location?

 

thanks

<?php
echo "<img src=\"" . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . "/images/top_invoice.gif\">";
?>

If your domain is test.com

If you want relative url, relative path or root path.

'<img src=' . $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/images/top_invoice.gif' etc.....

would yeild www.test.com/images/top_invoice.gif

 

Would allow you to have just one images folder instead of an images folder in every folder which you will need if using:

"<img src=\"" . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . "/images/top_invoice.gif\">";

would yeild www.test.com/current_folder/images/top_invoice.gif
