file paths in html docs

[Anon]

Hi:

I'm reworking my site with php and mysql (thanks for all previous help) and am now trying to build dynamic headers and footers for my articles (www.insidespaces.com). All of the articles (header + article + footer) are assembled by a php file in the documentroot called contentbuilder.php. Contentbuilder.php uses several include statements to pull in the .html article files. Here's the problem: when I use include to pull in a html file, the images don't display. It's because the path is non-existant. It just says "picture.jpg". If I edit the image tag to include the full path to the tag, it will work. However, we have over 100 articles, each in it's own directory. Is there an easy way around this?

I know it seems simple, but ust give it the directory the images are in, just like you normmally would.

/index.php
<? include_once("$DOCUMENT_ROOT/include/contentbuilder.php");
?>

/include/contentbuilder.php
<?
include_once("$DOCUMENT_ROOT/include/header.php");
?>

/include/header.php
<?
echo "<img src="http://$SERVER_NAME/images.jpg");
?>
