Broken path in URLs

[Tourex]

If I enter "http://www.mydomain.com/page.php/" in my browser, I get the page but the images don't display and indicate broken links. If I call the page normally, (i.e. "www.mydomain.com/page.php"), then everything displays correctly.

Can someone please explain to me what is happening, why the relative links are broken and how I code these pages to allow them to be displayed properly under either circumstance. The page is using relative paths for the images (in this case "src="../images/#*$!xx").

I'm not sure yet where the calls to page.php/ are coming from, but I obviously want them to display correctly.

Thanks.

You can use absolute paths and if you want to keep portability, then save the path to the main site files to a variable and prefix links with that
eg.
<?php
$path = '/site/';
?>
<img src="<?php echo $path;?>images/boo.gif" ...

Or you can use mod_rewrite to redirect the user to the correct file.

RewriteRule ^page\.php\/$ page.php [R=permanent,L]

Thanks for that. I think I understand what you're saying (sorry, I'm new to this)

There are two problems. I am using a page for search engine listing purposes, which provides a list from a MySQL database, using the 'friendly' address, /page.php/P/375 to that engines who don't like the? will index the entire site. So, I imagine that your mod-rewrite solution, although the neatest, would block these pages (wouldn't it?).

Secondly, the biggest problem with a solution in the web pages is that I'm authoring on a Windows platform and the site is hosted on Linux. I need to find a solution that allows me to see and work on the graphics/illustration on my local machine while editing which I believe isn't possible with the code you suggest. Or am I misunderstanding what I have to do?

Thanks for your input and suggestions though and hopefully you can put me straight.

I've found something on this, which takes it WAY beyond my knowledge and experience.

I did a test page which includes phpinfo() and ran it by calling test.php and test.php/

The Apache Environment table has two extra rows on the info for test.php/ - The first new entry is 'PATH_INFO' which shows '/' and 'PATH_TRANSLATED' which shows the Linux path to the root of the web '/home/vhost/domain.com/html/'

Now, I'm not sure what this proves or means, but it would seem to me that the page 'thinks' its in a different directory when the page is called as test.php/ and so isn't finding the relative paths to the image files. I'm hoping that there's a fix to this, or at least a workaround - such as a piece of php code I can slap into the top of the page so that it corrects the situation.

All help gratefully received. Thanks.
