Hi, and thanks for any thoughts..
As a learner I am testing creating web pages using php files on localhost using XAMPP.
To check I understand file paths correctly i added a simple link to a pic in Index.php in htdocs:
<img src="/imagesxxx/inside_images/test-image-1.jpg" width="150" height="100" alt="test image 1" >
and it worked fine adding the image from the correct folder as had I placed it there.
To test I understand how the system works i moved test-image-1.jpg to another folder, then refreshed localhost, expecting
to find the picture place holder as localhost should have looked in the inside_images folder and not found the pic.
However, the picture still showed up as if all was correct.
I tried restarting my computer and going to localhost on Chrome, but still the picture showed up in the page as if it was in the correct folder.
What am I misunderstanding here?
Regards,
Stephen
