[FIXED] codeigniter image path

Issue

I am a codeignite newbie and tried to add an image in my file under view folder.

I add <img src="../images/myImage.jpg"></img> to my service_view.php. All I can see is a broken link of a small icon.

however, if I change my path to

<img src="../../user_guide/images/myImage.jpg"></img>

I can see the image.

My file system is as follow:

application-
   view ->folder    (where service_view.php is located)
   images -> folder   (where myImage.jpg is located)

user_guide- 
   images ->folder  ((where myImage.jpg is located))

Can anyone help me about this? Thanks a lot!

Solution

I would suggest storing images in an images folder at the same level as the application folder, instead of trying to mix both PHP code and resources underneath application. Then just link to it like you did to the user guide:

<img src="../../images/myImage.jpg" />
