[RESOLVED] Getting an image to show in php

robkir

I am not sure this is the place to ask--but let me try.

Nav_menu.php is in the subdirectory Menu and includes the site's logo (logo.gif). If I call up Nav_menu.php, the logo is there.

If I go to another directory and open Match/match_maker.php, which includes Nav_menu.php, it will show the menu okay, but it doesn't show the logo. I can't figure out why.

Any ideas?

use the fill image path relative to the site root, then you cant go wrong.

Hi Dagon,

I thought that was what I was doing (but apparently not, since it didn't work).

In Nav_menu.php logo.gif is inserted using: <img src="logo.gif" width="305" height="94" />

Match/match_maker.php include statement says: include('../Menu/Nav_menus.php');

I've tried variations, like placing the logo.gif and Nav_menu.php in the relative root directory, but I am not sure what else to try short of placing a copy of logo.gif in every subdirectory and calling it in to each php file, each time.

Thanks

dagon

if logo.gif is in the root

src='/logo.gif' will work on any dir in the whole site.

if its in say images, use:

src='/images/logo.gif'

Sometimes I am such an idiot. I've been trying to get this logo to appear as part of the menu in an include() statement. Neither your suggested changes or my early attempts seemed to make the logo appear. It was frustrating and mystifying until I noticed that I had been updating the WRONG Nav_menu.php. Duh.

It works now. Thanks for your help. One of these days I'll actually read my own code.
