That way, it would be able to access the image from anyway in your web site...(I Think) "Paul Brownsea" <dxdad27@yahoo.co.uk> wrote in message news:200403210751.03147.dxdad27@yahoo.co.uk...

Whereas without the "/" you are declaring that the image is in the "images" directory, relative to the PHP script (or HTML page) (maybe "c:\program files\apache\htdocs\MYWEBSITE\images\onlylogo.gif" giving "http://www.mywebsite.com/MYWEBSITE/images/onlylogo.gif"). So I think it is just a HTML problem.
