why it's assuming a sub folder?

jrahma

Hi,

I have the following address:

http://localhost/mywebsite

and using htacess to the memberhome.php to show as:

http://localhost/mywebsite/memberhome

but the /memberhome assumes it's a sub folder so all images will not be shown..

How can I fix it?

Use absolute paths to the images, or use correct relative paths.

using absolute paths means I have to change it from localhost to mydomain.com everytime I upload from and to localhost/remote host.

using Relative Paths is better and that's what I am doing.. My images are on root and my memberhome.php is also on root but when using it with RewriteRule it shows as:

http://localhost/mywebsite/memberhome

then even the relative path won't work..!

Thanks,
Jassim

No it doesn't. "/path/to/foo.bar" will have the same 'path' component no matter which host you're using.

Right... but since you seem think URLs should be "pretty" for some reason, you're going to have to make sure the "relative" path will be interpreted correctly by your browser.

well, let me give more details..

The image is at root and the url is images/home.png

when I use http://localhost/mywebsite/memberhome.php?guid=abc everything works fine.

but when I user http://localhost/xoompage/member/abc image will not be displayed.

this what I get when I check the page source:

<img src="images/home.png" alt="">

now here is another scenario...

I changed the image url in the code to ../images/home.png

it worked at http://localhost/xoompage/member/abc but not at http://localhost/mywebsite/memberhome.php?guid=abc
