Doesn't validate in HTML 4.01 (strict or transitional).
So, instead of "images/..", if we use "/images/.." will it
validate?
The problem is:

Try running it through an HTML validator. Or show me exactly where in the HTML
specs it says this is valid.
You can't - because it's not valid.

So, what's your PHP question? The only one you asked was about the <img> tag -
which is HTML, not PHP.

What is the best way to resolve paths within a document regardless of
what path it is opened under? For example: I have x.php and it contains
img src="images...">, (amongst other things, like php code), which
resolves the correct image path when opened under / but when x.php is
read into a file under /dir the image no longer resolves, for obvious
reasons. With absolute paths, this isn't an issue but it is with
relative paths. Although I can think of a kludge, or two, I figure that
there is a more elegant solution. Thanks in advance.
First of all, this isn't a PHP question - <img statements are html,
whether they're included in PHP or not. Now - if you were talking about
include(), require_once(), etc., you 'd be talking php.
The easiest way I've found is to just use absolute URL's for the images -
i.e.
img src="/images..."
Works everyplace on the site and you don't need to include extra files.

I've always found a problem with that when working offline. How do you
get around that?

Don't know what problem you would have, unless you're trying to load the
file directly instead of through a webserver.
I always use a webserver for testing, though. Even have one going on my
main development system.

Exactly, particularly as this is a PHP newsgroup - the next complaint will
be "when I work offline, my PHP doesn't execute, it just prints the
source code" :-)
Cheers,
Andy

To keep your scripts maintainable, make a configuration file where you will
put the paths in. E.g
config.php
$IMG_BASE_URL="http://www.my-domain.com/images/";

If you have ever had to use a reverse-proxy on a web application, you'd
realize what an evil absolute paths are. |

And in some circumstances (particularly with images) will result in more
efficient client-side caching.
