Any ideas why this php code adaption doesn't work?

I'm using something similar to the following code (with thanks to ratchetr) to display images in the jpg directory:

<?php
//path to directory to scan
$directory = "jpg/";

//get all image files with a .jpg extension.
$images = glob($directory . "*.jpg");

//print each file name
foreach($images as $image)
{
echo '<img src="' . $image . '" alt="pictures from Members" />';
}
?>


When I change the directory to something with a ../ at the start, it's OK but if I use a slash / to indicate start in web root, the php doesn't return anything.

The following html is OK - the slash at the start makes the browser look in images folder in web root - but when php serves it in this case, it doesn't work:

<img src="/image-folder/pictures/foo.jpg" />

Weird?



(NOTE: I tried using DOCUMENT_ROOT but realised how silly that was inside an IMG tag after a while, lol)
