Saw (or any other computer nerd)

I need help with this html-thingy. I figured I'd finally start using those free 20MB I have from my ISP to build a homepage.

But you know me, I dont know crap about html-programming.

How do I get the images to appear on my page?

I have uploaded the images to the ftp server, then Im fiddeling with the index.php -file. That all seems to be working. Now I want the image to appear on my web page.

I use this line:
< img scr="[this is the path to the picture on my ftp server, something like http://ftp://ftp.myisp.com/my pictures/picture.jpg]" >

But the picture wont appear on the web page. What am I doing wrong?

You want the HTTP path to the files, not the FTP paths.  Use FTP to upload them, but reference their HTML paths.

Eg,  http://myisp.com/myname/mypic.jpg">.
 
Make sure you leave off the FTP.  Your ISP might have a different format for what the HTTP path is vs. the FTP path, so if you need an example, go to someone elses page on that isp and check their paths.  

The super simplest way, of course, is to not fully realize the path.  Eg, if your images are in the same folder as your HTML, just say:



If it's in a subdirectory called 'images', just say:

What chairboy said

Let's imagine your index.php file is in your root folder (usualy /www in ftp) and your pictures in the /images/ folder

You can link to this way:

or

// This you can use if your html/php file is in a  folder below your root

If you're sure you won't move your files to another domain, you can use a full path

Catch me on MSN today.. it's friday so I can goof around

Bah, you just proved to everyone that you are the king of the nerds. I bet you sleep with your D&D rulebook under your pillow.

[Hortlund]

Oh, and thank you chairboy

[Hortlund]

Saw, do you still have that picture for the wolfpack webpage? The knight? I think Id like to have that one you made on my page.

[Saintaw]

this one?

[Hortlund]

ahh, yes, thanks.

btw, I can use .jpg -images right? I dont have to make them .gif?

[Maniac]

Both gif and jpg works with html

[Hortlund]

AHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA I got it to work!!!!

Fear me peasants, for now I control the internet!!

or something...

Thanks guys for all the help.


Now, I have another question. How do I make different pages? Suppose I would like a frontpage, and then you can click on "pictures" and be taken to another page where I keep my pictures.

Hortlund,

look at any internet page and click on "View" then "Source" on your browser menu.

This'll show you the html behind the page.

You can get tons of free examples of how to do things that way.

[Hortlund]

Ah, Brilliant!!

Thanks for the advice Kanth, I owe you a beer.
