Question

I store user images in “images” forlder and the full path is something like this:

http://example.com/images/imagename.jpg

When I try to get the image path like this:

$path = 'images/imagename.jpg';

it works fine on home page, but since I have different permalink structure it doesn’t work on other pages. It becames something like http://example.com/something/images/imagename.jpg

Of course I can write:

$path = 'http://example.com/images/imagename.jpg';

but in this case

file_exists($path)

always returns false even if the file exists. It’s a problem!

Can anyone please help?

Answer 1

Try $path = '/images/imagename.jpg; that way you’re are referencing from the document root path.
