I don't have my server set up to log errors. It is a dev server on local host.
I use Firefox as dev/test browser. It has dev tools, one of which is network.
The requests for image resources represented by the get queries are returning
200, ok. and the image is not displayed. Only the alt string is displayed.
However I did make some subtile changes just before the problem appeared. I am going to roll back those
changes and see what happens. The changes should not be invalid. It just amounts to when the php script
has a full version of resource path.
>> self::$_imgDir.self::$_imgIndex[$_a['tag']]
Where self::@_imgDir is a string representing the directory location
and self::$_imgIndex[$_a['tag']] is the file name.
I used to have the complete path/file name in self::$_imgIndex.
self::$_imgIndex is set with the contents of an external php script that is required by the class __construct method.
Thank you for time and attention
