Include a file with a different folder

Question

I like to use php-include for the first time to include different partials within my static webpages. My folder structure is something like that:

-index.php
-other.php
----production
-------partials
-----------partial1.php
----public
-------images
-----------image1.png

And I want to reference the image from my partial1.php. So I try to do

<img src="../../public/images/image1.png">

but the reference doesn't work and I can add or delete as many "../" as I want, still not working. How else would I define a path to my public-folder and reference to that correctly?

If you index.php is in the "root" of your site simply use /public/images/image1.png to reference that image. — Dave

Your approach is correct from a technical point of view. Take a look at your http servers log files to find what URL the client translates the request to. A cleaner alternative would be to use an absolute path (/images/image1.png) as reference and define an Alias on the server side configuration for those requests. A ton of benefits if you decouple request paths from the actual physical layout on of the server side file heirarchy... — arkascha

Try insert full path:

<img src=\"<?php echo @getcwd()."/public/images/image1.png" ?>\" />

or add other ../:

<img src="../../../public/images/image1.png">
