First of all I am rather new into PHP. I use php 5 and I am putting
together a web site for a local association I belong too.
Most of the site is okay, except for this problem :
I need to be able for the member of the site to upload files (gif, jpg
or pdf). After reading a lot about the danger of file uploading, I
decided to create a folder at the root of the web server. The upload of
the files goes on without any problem, but when i tried to show some of
the file (such as the image files), the system does not retrieve them.
Here is the the tree of my web server :
/.
/website (folder where all of the web site is build with *.php files)
/uploads
/images (folder where all the images files are uploaded)
/pdf (files where all the pdf files are uploaded)
The bit of code doing the uploads works fine, but I can not find a way
to retrieve the files. When I code in the php file :
echo '<img src="../uploads/images/test.gif">';
The browser is in fact looking for a file name
www.mywebsite.com/uploads/images/test.gif which of course does not exist.
I tried to look on the web for an answer but did not find one. Could any
one points me out to a tutorial for this subject, or will be good enough
to help with a solution, bearing in mind that I am by no mean an expert
in php.
Thank you.
