image not showing with <? include("../header.php") ?>

[suseli]

My webroot:

public_html
|_____mysite
|___image
| |___all images here
|
|___photos
| |___gallery.php
|
|___index.php
|
|___header.php


I have a gallery.php page that INCLUDES header.php page like this <? include("../header.php") ?>
When i run the gallery.php page the images are not showing at all.

Can somebody please help me.

If your images are not showing up, one cause is that your web paths are wrong.

webpaths for image cannt be wrong because if i type

http://mysite.com/header.php

the images are showing properly.

You are only confirming in my mind that you have a path problem.

When you type [ignore]

http://mysite.com/header.php

[/ignore], the base URL path is the root of the website. When you type [ignore]

http://mysite.com/photos/gallery.php

[/ignore], the base URL path is the site's subdirectory /photos. If headers.php outputs HTML which uses relative links (links like "[red]../[/red]images/...") versus absolute links (links like "[ignore]

http://mysite.php/images/...")

or document-root-relative links (links like "/images/.."), then you are having a path issue.

Thanks for your prompt guide.

header.php has relative links for images.

what do i need to do so that when i run gallery.php the images will show up.

Stop using ".." in your path and use absolute references.

http://mysite.com/images/image.jpg
