It is when it's parsed by PHP. You're just putting it through as
straight HTML, which - even though it may have a .php extension -
won't work as you might be expecting.
Instead, you have to instruct the parsing engine where and when to
interpret, compile, and execute the code, like so:
<img src="<?php echo dirname(dirname(__FILE__)); ?>/images/bannerbae1.gif">
In the above snippet, notice a few very important things:
1.) We use regular open tags to be compatible with all stock
PHP configurations.
2.) We echo out the response from dirname() so that it's
output to the HTML source.
3.) We use dirname() twice, so it gives the dirname() of the
dirname(), rather than '..'.
4.) There are double underscores around FILE. The same is
true with LINE, FUNCTION, etc.
