Note Submitter: andy dot clark at dial dot pipex dot com ---- This only changes the directory for PHP, the output directory stays the same. If you are trying to access images from a relative path and you use the following then it will fail to render the image: chdir ('images'); if (file_exists('php.gif')) { echo '<html>'; echo '<body>'; echo '<img src="php.gif">'; echo '</body></html>'; } //However, it is possible to use the <base> tag in the header to change the directory for the resulting HTML, as you can see however this requires you to put the full path in place. chdir ('images'); if (file_exists('php.gif')) { echo '<html>'; echo '<head><base href = "http://uk.php.net/images/"></head>'; echo '<body>'; echo '<img src="php.gif">'; echo '</body></html>'; }
