Path problem displaying an Image

[Corin]

This is a very simple problem which is really bugging me.
I have written a script to upload an image file ($final_filename) from my
hard disc to the server .
If I upload it to my root directory then I can display the image using :

print("<img src=\"$final_filename\">");

but if I specify the upload path to be in another directory I cannot display
the image, the new path being :

print("<img
src=[url]http://www.mydomain.com/public_html/photo_uploads/[/url]$final_filename>");
or
print("<img
src=\"/home/mydomain/public_html/photo_uploads/$final_filename\">");

I know the image file ($final_filename) is in the photo_uploads directory
coz I can see it and it isn't corrupt.

Please can somebody give me some valuable path advice here, as I'm sure it's
something very easy to fix. Thank you.

What actually happens when you try to show the file?,

what happens if you right click on the unshown image and try and save it to the gard disk?

As general advice I would suggest that you check the directory permissions on the server and ensure that the directory is under the web root directory.

Given the correct permissions and location of the file then it should be viewable.

Check that you have the correct case-sensitive file name as well.

Thanks, It was a path problem as predicted. I used
print("<img src=\"/photo_uploads/$final_filename\">");

Which solved it, Cheers
