Hello again,
 DOCUMENT_ROOT is..  /htdocs/www
I  have a php file ( showdatabases.php) in my subdomain area   /htdocs/util/
it loads up just fine: and if you click it, you will see my database
structure if you like..:)
http://util.consumergrapevine.org/showdatabases.php
I have images stored in  /hdocs/www/img/  right now  (of course i could move
them, and fix all references to them) but I like them there because I can
refer to images in pages in /www/ with background="img/bgpic.jpg"...of
course this works just fine becuz /img/ is just down from /www/.
but now I have pages in subdomains as menitoned above like:
/htdocs/util/showdatabases.php
and of course I want to refer to images from those subdomain pages too,,and
of course
I don't want to have another dir with the same pics in them..something
like...  /htdocs/util/img/
becuz I already have the pics in /htdocs/www/img/  and if I make another sub
domain called /htdocs/stuff , I don't want to have to copy the pics AGAIN
into /htdocs/stuff/img
right? So,,, (yes I may be getting to the end now..) how or where should I
put my pics so the /www/ and /util/ and /stuff/ guys can use them as
background pics?

what would the body tag look like?
   doesn;t work
what will?

thanks again,

Ken

Perhaps you could consider using the webserver config (in Apache it 
would be the httpd.conf file) to do the dirty work.

Create and alias (in the /util/ domain) for "img"  that points to the 
"/hdocs/www/img/" location - voila!  YMMV

The problem is that they are completely different websites, from the web 
browser point of view - even though they are so close to each other on the 
server...  You should have mentioned this was a sub domain site :-)

If you REALLY don't want to copy the image from the www folder to the util 
folder, then you have to use:

http://www.consumergrapevine.org/img/background.jpg";>

So that the browser can reach the image file.

2001-07-10 Thread Ken Sommers

Thanks Tom
 and sorry I didn't mention it properly at first,,
I was trying to analyse the problem.
is it becuz the first part of the referenece being the   ../
in 
the ../  wants to take the browser into illegal territory above the root?
because we are starting from /htdocs/util  so the  ../  would try to go back
to /htdocs

which is above the root (/htdocs/www) illegal territory.
just tryin to understand it

thanks ,
Ken

Re: [PHP-DB] RE: trash last message ,this ones right I think

2001-07-10 Thread Tom Peck

Yes that is correct.

Your main site root is: /htdocs/www/
And your sub site (util) root is /htdocs/util/

These are two different sites from the browser's point of view.

Neither site will have access to anything below the root folder (from the 
browser).

If the util site is going to be part of the main site, why don't you put it 
in the www folder?  ie.  /htdocs/www/util/  the idea for different site 
roots is so that you can keep different sites separate.

If you had the root as /htdocs/  for all, then the website address would 
be:  http://www.yourdomain.com/www/index.php  or wat eva..  not very nice..
