sub folder

Hi at all
online with OS linux apache accept <img src="../images/image.png">
instead xampp accept <img src="images/image.png">

What is always right?

it all depends on folder structure and where the calling document is

<img src="images/image.png">

Code: Select all

/home
  |- /docroot        <-- calling document (*.html/php/etc.) is here
        |- /images   <-- images are here

<img src="../images/image.png">

Code: Select all

/home
  |- /docroot
        |- /images   <-- images are here
        |- /subdir   <-- calling document (*.html/php/etc.) is here

.. and also it depends on the setting of DocumentRoot, it depends on ALIAS Definitions and last not least on rewrites/redirects/proxies/reverse proxies etc. in .htaccess and/or in the Apache configuration. And i am still unsure, if i haven't overlooked something...

Well /docroot = DocumentRoot and of course there are many variables as you state but I did not want to muddy the waters for a simple question that for most, not all, has a simple answer. I simply wanted to give the poster the general idea of how relative paths work ... which is what these both are.

I do thank you for pointing out the fact that it can rely on so much more than I have shown.

Thats definateky ok, i only wanted to give a slight clue, that there might happen tons of unexpected things (which of course usually is not the case). My bigger concern with this question is, that i do not have a feeling what the author REALLY wants to know and what the REAL problem is (i dont know, if there is a problem, but i think so). The question "what is always right?" is a lttle bit "fuzzy", it would be easier to describe a problem and ask for a solution.
