How to insert PHP script into HTML the best way?

Question

I have to insert full path to every single image/css file of my website, because of url_rewriting and I'm looking for the most officiant way to do it.

Of course I could do:

<img src='<?php echo $full_path; ?>/images/theImg.jpg' alt='alternative text' />

But somewhere I saw people doing it like this, or something:

<img src='{full_path}/images/theImg.jpg' />

Now do you know how the second example is possible, or is it just part of some framework and can't be used in normal document?

Thanks for answers,

Mike

In this very case you don't need any variable full path. /images/theImg.jpg is all right. — Your Common Sense

Not if you mod_rewrite the adrress for something like shop.com/product/product-name and want the img from shop.com/images/img.jpg and not shop.com/product/images/img.jpg — Mike

Just try it. /images/theImg.jpg works for the shop.com/product/product-name as well as for the every page on the site. It is called absolute path and the only solution for the filenames. — Your Common Sense

the first code example is absolutely fine Btw, you can just use ../images — nico

@Col. Shrapnel: Depends on the mod_rewrite rules. Relatives paths are considered relative to the rewritten address. — nico

And if it's not a full framework, perhaps it's just a templating engine like Smarty http://www.smarty.net/
