Hello,

Dreamweaver and php

I am developing a site and on the site I enable users to put screenshots
of software.

The images are not stored on my server/site but rather the user adds the
link to a database. The format of the link is
www.someplaceonthenet.com/images/somepicture.gif etc I instruct the
user to leave out http:// when adding the link

I then attempt to show this pic on a page by using dreamweaver and
choosing insert /image / and then choosing datasources and navigating to
the field that holds the location of the image.

This seems to work, when I view the page I can see an outline of the
image but no image, looking at the properties shows that the page is
trying to display

http://127.0.0.1/www.someplaceonthenet.com/images/somepicture.gif

which is wrong...

Anyone have any ideas on how to get rid of the 127.0.0.1?

Thanks,

td.
