PHP Includes function, not displaying images

Question

This is all that is contained on my home.php page

<?php
    include ('../bgs/bg-verbier.html');
    include('../menus/menu-verbier.html');
?>

both of the requested pages lie in the parent directory. The /menus/menu-verbier.html has posed no problem from the include function, however the '../bgs/bg-verbier.html is. The file as been found however the images aren't displaying.

The path of the images is working on a .php page that lies in the same parent directory,

Here's the ../bgs/bg-verbier.html' file:

<div id="bg">
    <b><i><i><img src="images/verbier/0.jpg"></i></i></b>
    <!--b:holder, i#1: large canvas, i#2: center verticaly -->
    <b><i><i><img src="images/verbier/1.jpg"></i></i></b>
    <b><i><i><img src="images/verbier/2.jpg"></i></i></b>
    <b><i><i><img src="images/verbier/3.jpg"></i></i></b>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/scaler.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/example.js"></script>

the pathes given in the images are not absolute. And by the include you import them into your "current" location and thus the browser cant find them — Najzero

Why do you have images wrapped in bold and (double'd up) italic tags? Also your images should include alt attributes for browsers which do not display images. — James Donnelly

Your images folder must be in the same directory as the php file that is calling it. Otherwise, you must specify the relative path to the images folder.

When you include a file, it's like if you were to copy & paste that file's contents into the PHP file.

So, it's like the PHP file is asking for images/verbier/0.jpg, which means it's looking in the same folder as the PHP file.

I suggest you edit the HTML file so it uses absolute paths to the images, like:

<img src="/menus/images/verbier/0.jpg">
