Previewing/rendering images from relative path

[margarizaldi]

I have a very simple project which the admin page is in the different path with the frontend (no router, just directory based urls)

public/admin/index.php <-- here's the editor
public/index.php <-- the page to show the image
public/images/img-1.jpg <-- the image I want to show both in editor & frontend

I need the admin user able to manually type some relative link and see the preview on the editor...

<img src='images/img-1.jpg />

How to achieve that? Thanks.

Why not just use the absolute path?

<img src='/images/img-1.jpg />

Haven't tried but won't the editor be looking for public/admin/images/img-1.jpg instead of public/images/img-1.jpg ?

Nope, since there is a / before, it will be absolute, not relative

Perfect... That really works... Thanks
