I think you just need to understand how filesystems work and what a URL is. ../ is the parent directory ./ is the current directory / is the root directory If you reference /image.png from a page found at http://example.org/foo/bar.php, the browser will request the resource at http://example.org/image.png. If you reference ./image.png or even just image.png in that page, the browser will request http://example.org/foo/image.png. Just remember that the browser is the one interpreting the path and requesting the URL, which is why / references document root and not the root directory of the filesystem. Hope that helps.
