Differences referencing image from localhost and server - El Forum - 02-22-2012

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hello all,

I just started using CI and am noticing a peculiarity referencing images. I hope somebody can help me out.

I'm referencing the image in /application/views/view_welcome.php:

If I use

Code:
/images/splash-logo.jpg

the image displays on the server, but not on my localhost.

If I use

Code:
images/splash-logo.jpg

it displays on localhost, but not on the server.

I have nothing in my .htaccess file.
$config['base_url'] = '';
$config['index_page'] = 'index.php';

Any ideas?

    &lt;base href="&lt;?php echo base_url();?&gt;" /&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

    images/splash-logo.jpg

&lt;/body&gt;

Thanks for replying, but I don't understand.

I'm referencing the image in a <div> like this:

Code:
background-image: url('/images/splash-logo.jpg');

If I use the '/' at the beginning it will display on the server, but not on my localhost.

If I don't use the '/' at the beginning it will display on my localhost, but not on the server.
