I'm working in local using WAMP, the structure of my website root folder is this:
MySite
Well, I'm into file2.php and I would retrieve some of the images inside the directory 'Images'. I tried in several ways but I failed everytime.
The relative file path in your case should include a link to one level above your current page. To access the images in the structure you posted, use:
<img src="../images/myimage.jpg" />
Note the .., which tell the web server to seek the image one level above, and then go into the image dir.
have you tried ../images/[name of image]?
Try with a relative path like:
../images/<image filename>
Or with an absolute path to wherever the images directory belongs. E.g.:
C:\wamp\www\<...>\images\<image filename>
I recomend the first way because if you happen to move the website directory to somewhere else it would still work.
In your file2.php
//Read the file in binary
$imagen = file_get_contents('image1.png');
//Convert the binary to Base64 (string of numbers a chars)
$imageData = base64_encode($imagen);
//retrive the string
echo $imageData
And to call the image
<img src='data:image/png;base64, <?PHP include 'file2.php' ?>'/>;
