can't view images on some pages

| Hello
Learning css and html - already got help from this group - thank you.
I've gradually been reworking and tidying up a site.
I can't see images on the pages called via a PHP code ... I can see the
images in the PHP page itself, but not the images that are in the
content part that is called.
If i insert one of the images somewhere in the PHP page itself i can
see it.
All I get is the red cross and the alt text for the image and the
placeholder - the path looks right so i thought maybe there is
something that i don't know about PHP and images when they get called
to another page - maybe related to the div container that it is in, but
i am not sure what to look for.
Here is the index.php - I've inserted the same image in the navbar on
the left at the bottom just to prove that the picture is there and
works ... I just made it smaller.
http://members.iinet.net.au/~dbensted/?page=home
I would appreciate any advice you can give me. I've tried a couple of
browsers. Let me know if you need any more info.

Why do you have two lots of:
<html>
<head><title></title></head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Doesn't look right to me. Not sure if this has anything to do with your
problem.
If you call the page without CSS (comment out the CSS link) does the
picture appear?

What on earth for? This is a 'read' issue. Regardless of the =
availability of .htaccess processing on some web servers, it is always a=

security risk to open a directory to write access by the web server unle=

that directory is off the www root.

Assumes server o/s is *n*x - which it may be, but is irrelevant here.
Look - I know you're trying to assist - and this is laudable - but pleas=

Sorry if the above comes across as grumpy - but I think the point is wor=

Replace "/images/home.jpg" with "images/home.jpg"
The problem is because you're on cheap hosting with a shared host and a
user directory rather than a user-specific subdomain name, or indeed
your own domain name. As a result you can't easily use URLs beginning
with "/" as they're pointing at the server's root, not the user's root
If you want to have a larger site with subdirectories in it, then you
could also use a URL of "/~dbensted/images/home.jpg", which will work
from any subdirectory. But if you get that far, then it's probably time
to find some better hosting option.

OK - I can see what you are saying. I have another question, then. Why
does the image that I have on the index.php page have the address with
the ~dbensted but the image from the home.html page doesn't have the
~dbensted when both have the same path format in the code ...
this is the code for the small image under the left nav which is in the
root folder on page index.php
<img src="images/home.jpg">
this is the code for the larger image which is on content\home.html and
is included via php
<img alt="All Saints' Anglican Church Balgowlah"
src="/images/home.jpg">
It must be the way the server itself is doing something - because if I
add the ~dbensted to the file path it doesn't work either, it comes out
with double ~dbensted.
Well, I hope this isn't too confusing a question. The actual website
itself is on another server, and I am just using my own personal
website of my isp to rewrite it and learn the language, so maybe my isp
doesn't have great support for PHP or something like that. What do you
think?
Many thanks
Deb

OK - thanks - that explains it - and answers the question I posed in
another reply before I saw your reply.
Indeed you are right - as I said in the other reply. I am just using my
personal webspace to learn coding and rewrite the site which is hosted
somewhere else and is (apparently) a bit of a coding mess.
Thanks so much for this

No need to answer this as another poster confirmed that the problem is
related to the fact that it is personal webspace with a shared host.
The problem is fixed removing the first slash and I can't change them
all back when I move over to the proper host when it is finished.
Thank you so much for your time and patience.
