Re: [PHP] Re: die! die! directory!
ok, I changed all the paths to include: ( http://www.host.com/directory/sub-directory ) before the /maps2/map1.jpg call. It still falls apart, but... if I shorten the path I can get to the image. I am beginning to think there is a weakness in the file structure on my site. Anyone else see anything like this?

Re: [PHP] Re: die! die! directory!
ok, I'll buy that, but. Now, in a strictly php page that is also failing intermittently I have the following: $im_size = GetImageSize("./maps/$map"); Same basic HTML problem? I'll change everything to be relative to http:// and see if that helps. - Original Message - From: "Larry Jeannette" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'hugh danaher'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, February 08, 2002 7:49 PM Subject: RE: [PHP] Re: die! die! directory! > This is a standard HTML question, not a PHP question. > > If you do not include http:// or a / in front of the src value then it > is taken as relative to the documents directory - ie: if the document is > at the location http://www.someplace.com/somedir and src=map1.jpg then > the browswer will look for the image at > http://www.someplace.com/somedir/map1.jpg, if src=/map1.jpg then the > browser will look for it http://www.someplace.com/map1.jpg (the / tells > it to start from the web sites root, or top level, directory). > > LRJ > > -Original Message- > From: hugh danaher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, February 08, 2002 5:35 PM > To: php > Subject: [PHP] Re: die! die! directory! > > > Phil, Thanks for the suggestion.
