Use relative path

[neverdone]

In the past project I use path for a picture with an absolute path such as <img src="<?php echo $DOCUMENT_ROOT;?>/mypicture/ia.jpg"> , the page loads very slow as it generates almost 20 thumbnail. Then I tried to use relative path such :<img src="../mypicture/ia.jpg">. I found that, pages loads faster almost twice than before ..
Share your thoughts about that ..

how are you measuring this speed.?? milliseconds processing time within your script or just guessing???

[iDxMan]

Yeah, how was measured and did you clear your browser cache?

-r

[Silmaril8n]

It shouldn't decrease the speed that much but the first method does take extra and needless PHP parsing.

[Viper007Bond]

Much easier/better to let the browser figure out where the image is.

Just a quickie note to make things easier for you...

instead of:<?php echo $DOCUMENT_ROOT;?>
try this:<?=$DOCUMENT_ROOT?>

Same thing :D
