try:

include '../../images/pic.jpg';

from here.
.../ means 'up one directory'

try:

include '../images/pic.jpg';

Hi Timo,

include() doesn't expect a URL (unless prepended by http/ftp. etc.) but a
system path. So use the full system path, e.g.:

include("/www/docroot/images/pic.jpg");

In that situation a complete URI will do the trick.

use:

<img src="http://www.thewebsite.dk/images/pic.jpg">

which will always point to the right location.
Because imageloading is done by the browser, I expect it to be as fast as
.../../etc. notation.
Except when your browser does a namelookup every time, which I hope it
doesn't. :P

try using server constant DOCUMENT_ROOT if relative addressing doesnt work
for you

example

$homedir = $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"].$mydir;
