        With the "/" you are delcaring that the image is in the directory "images", 
relative to the server root (maybe "c:\program 
files\apache\htdocs\images\onlylogo.gif" giving a webaddress of 
"http://www.mywebsite.com/images/onlylogo.gif";). Whereas without the "/" you 
are declaring that the image is in the "images" directory, relative to the 
PHP script (or HTML page) (maybe "c:\program 
files\apache\htdocs\MYWEBSITE\images\onlylogo.gif" giving 
"http://www.mywebsite.com/MYWEBSITE/images/onlylogo.gif";). So I think it is 
just a HTML problem.
