produces:
<img src="/img/dvds/Blue_hills.jpg" width="100" />as your comment suggests, the actual
srcshould be:<img src="/dvdcatalog/img/dvds/Blue_hills.jpg" width="100" />or even
<img src="http://localhost/dvdcatalog/img/dvds/Blue_hills.jpg" width="100" />Use the image helper which uses the correct webroot path for outputting links etc
and you should get the desired result.
