How do I use server vaiables for src's?

AshleyQuick

Can someone tell me if there is a snippet of code you can use to point src= to the web root? IE. Instead of using src="../../../art/whatever.gif", you can use something like src="#webroot#/whatever.gif "

Also, if this requires me making changes to the server, I don't have access to that. Hopefully, this is something I can do without contacting my web host?

you could try $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'], but it may or may not give what you want.

I think that in this case keep to what you are using.

If you start your image or file path with /, then it starts from the document root, for example:

You're on this page:
www.domain.com/path/to/my/file.php

Your like looks like this:
<a href="/basefile.php">my link</a>

Brings you to:
www.domain.com/basefile.php

Image src="" work the same way. That what you needed?

You could also prepend all your image tags with a PHP variable, $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] if you wanted...

Or..

$docroot = "www.mydomain.com/";

Then, in your HTML

<img src="<? echo $docroot ; ?>images/thispic.gif" />
