Images and styles are not visible

[gurusundar]

Hi folks,
I am a PHP programmer. I am having a problem with image tag. I need to know the difference and the purpose of using an image tag like this
<img src="/images/new.jpg>" , <img src="images/new.jpg"> and <img src="../images/new.jpg"> i am facing a problem because of this, i am editing an existing website in which the src or href of image, style, anchor tags etc., are written like this src="/images/someimage.jpg" , when i click a link it goes up one level say for eg: the page i am in was www.demo.com/user/list/index.php. When i click a link with "new.php" it goes like this www.demo.com/user/index.php. it comes out of the link folder. Actually this site is an existing site running site well and good. but now i am configuring it in a new web server its not running for me. Please advice ASAP.

Hi,

I think the folder for new page and image is not in the same path , you need to check all files in the www.demo.com/user/list/index.php folder only.

I need to know the difference and the purpose of using an image tag like this
<img src="/images/new.jpg>" , <img src="images/new.jpg"> and <img src="../images/new.jpg">

Say for example you are in "home" directory. In home directory, there is another directory called "images".
You want to display an image called "new.jpg" which is inside images. So, <img src="/images/new.jpg"> OR <img src="./images/new.jpg"> OR <img src="images/new.jpg"> will go inside images directory and display new.jpg .
Now, consider you are in "home" directory and "images" directory is one level above "home". Then you use .. ie., <img src="../images/new.jpg"> meaning, come out of home directory (ie., go one level up) , go to images directory and display new.jpg . I hope thats clear!

Thanks for your reply,
I just want to know the difference between <img src="images/new.jpg"> and <img src="/images/new.jpg"> tag format, also I belive <img src="/images/new.jpg"> and <img src="../images/new.jpg"> are same. I am an experienced programmer so i know some basics in images.
Please advice

./ this folder
../ up one folder
/ html root of the current site
/foldername/ foldername off the html root
./foldername/ foldername off the current folder
foldername/ foldername off the current folder (alternate)
../foldename/ up one folder then into foldername (parallel folder in the tree)
../../ up two folders
../../foldername up two then into foldername

in dos, windows cmd window type cd .. or cd . or cd ../foldername and you can see what it does

Your beliefs are wrong, ../ and / are not the same

Experienced ? dont think so
