hi there,

may sound a real basic question this but im having problem with displaying an image fron another folder at a similar level.

in my page "index.php" in my site root folder i use a php include called "sidemenu.php" which is in a subfolder "called includes", i then store my images in a folder called "images" which is a subfolder in the site root folder.

therefore my locations look like:

../index.php
../includes/sidemenu.php
../images/logo.gif

i want to use the img src tag in my sidemenu.php to display logo.gif however if i use the tag:

<img src="../images/logo.gif" />

if i preview sidemenu.php in my browser it works fine, but then it will not display the image when i preview index.php (even though it includes sidemenu.php which references logo.gif).

i presume this is probably because it is referenced from sidemenu.php which is in another level folder to index.php. is there anyway i can stop this happening? i dont really want to change my directory structures!

thanks in advance

This is because when using the include function, the code is read from the file and parsed as if it were in the file that called the include.
So you should remove the ../ from the path.

many thanks, that works a treat now!
