php image upload directory [duplicate]

Question

I am implementing a php site that allows users to upload their pictures, I created the uploads directory at the same level as root but now how can I access those images in html. I tried following

<img src="../../uploads/<?=$filename?>">

Do you use a framework? Please write example web url that run your php code — ramin ashrafimanesh

Note that the "src" is required by the browser client, not processed by your server. — user202729

That is, whatever you put in the "src" part of the HTML tag is requested by the browser. If you put ../../uploads/abc in the src field your browser will request the page ehtisham9.me/diary/../../uploads/abc for the image, and the server should put it there. — user202729

@user202729 I used to do src="uploads/username.jpg" but now I moved that uploads folder out of the root directory (2 dir back) — Ehtisham Hassan

Try making a root variable

If you are using php 5.3+

<?php 

$root =  __DIR__;

 ?>

 <img src="<?php echo $root ?>uploads/<?=$filename?>">

or set the $root variable to your domain name
