Subject: [PHP] accessing files not in www root directory.
> Hi,
> I am trying to write a page that will perform a select on a DB and get the
> path and file name of an image. Then display the image.
> The DB part if fine but I am having difficulty figuring out how to get the
> images to display. For example:
>
> result from select:
> $file_path = "/home/pics/friends/"
> $file_name = "bob.jpg"
>
> Now, say my web root directory is "/etc/http/wwwroot"
>
> How do I create a link to my file "/home/pics/friends/bob.jpg"?
> I tried symlink() but the link created appears to hang around after it is
no
> longer needed.
>
> By the way, this is a Linux server running Apache.
>
> Any ideas?

> Thanks,
