Yeah, thats the best way, to use a constant as you will only need to change it in one place if the location of the images need to change in the future. Also, I would'nt hard code your domain into the location path of the images as they won't work locally for testing (localhost). You probs best off using the variables that fall under $_SERVER for determining your application root.

Subject: RE: php include problem
I do this little trick in the main file I include in all my php files. So after
that, I only use the constants regardless how deep I am in a folder.
//pour trouver comment/ou inclure les fichiers peut importe l'emplacement du
fichier appelant
if (!defined("SERVER_ROOT_PATH"))
{
settype($str_pathUp, "string");
$str_pathUp = str_repeat("../", substr_count($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'],
"/")-2);
//on construit le chemin des fichiers
DEFINE("SERVER_ROOT_PATH", $str_pathUp);
DEFINE("SERVER_FILE_PATH", SERVER_ROOT_PATH."fichier/");
DEFINE("SERVER_INCLUDEFILE_PATH", SERVER_ROOT_PATH."includeFiles/");
DEFINE("SERVER_IMAGE_PATH", SERVER_ROOT_PATH."image/");
DEFINE("SERVER_CSS_PATH", SERVER_ROOT_PATH."css/");
DEFINE("SERVER_TEMP_PATH", SERVER_ROOT_PATH."temp/");
DEFINE("SERVER_LOG_PATH", SERVER_ROOT_PATH."log/");
DEFINE("SERVER_CLASS_PATH", SERVER_ROOT_PATH."classe/");
DEFINE("SERVER_ADODB_CLASS_PATH", SERVER_CLASS_PATH."adodb/");
DEFINE("SERVER_MAIL_CLASS_PATH", SERVER_CLASS_PATH."mail/");
DEFINE("SERVER_NEWMAIL_CLASS_PATH", SERVER_CLASS_PATH."phpmailer/");
DEFINE("SERVER_ERROR_CLASS_PATH", SERVER_CLASS_PATH."errorHandler/");
DEFINE("SERVER_SESSION_CLASS_PATH", SERVER_CLASS_PATH."session/");
DEFINE("SERVER_SQL_CLASS_PATH", SERVER_CLASS_PATH."sqlWrapper/");
}
// Fonctions générales nécessaires à certaines classes.
include_once(SERVER_INCLUDEFILE_PATH.'module_fonction_generale.php');

No. the '.' tells it to start at current directory. '../' would tell it
to start at the parent directory (one level higher) so:
"../images/"
would work in this example.
bob's advice to use absolute paths would be safest though...
"www.your-domain.com/images/"
