Right now I am designing the website for the UNLV Short Film Archive, which you can check out here.
Since it is a University server they are very strict about loose scripts on it and relegate php scripts to be stored in a separate cgi-bin using CGI-Wrap. If you look at the site, the top banner, left menu, and right menu are all php pages called from the cgi-bin with the syntax <!--#include virtual="/cgiwrap/shtfilm/index_header.php"-->. Everything works, but if I have a page within another folder such as http://www.unlv.edu/programs/filmarchive/articles/ I have to put a duplicate 'Images' folder in the folder with the html or else the pictures that are in those php scripts go missing. In essence the php script is calling for the images folder from within the folder that the html is placed. The work-around I came up with is basically the 'staff' folder has it's own 'images' folder and the 'articles' folder has it's own 'images' folder, etc. etc. Which requires that everytime I add an image to any of the php scripts or make changes to any images I must upload a new 'images' folder into each and every subfolder. Kind of annoying huh? Is there anyway around this? Please help! The monotony is killing me!

P.S. Hope all the above makes sense!
