@ÖzgürŞana ya, you better change it to your local. so the image can be accessible through website too. — Webster, Feb 07 '16 at 16:50
Maybe this one is more direct, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3967515/how-to-convert-image-to-base64-encoding You need to get the bytes to PHP then throw it to the browser. — chris85, Feb 07 '16 at 16:58

I'd suppose to use such URLs with protocol: $a = 'file:///D:/img/1.jpg';

What browser do you use? – max Feb 07 '16 at 16:59
Can you add html code that is produced by your server? Because plain html works fine for me. – max Feb 07 '16 at 17:05

The sample you provided/attached is only doable if you load the html file directly to your browser. It is not possible if you load it via localhost. In your case, you will have to do something like this:

<?php
$image = file_get_contents('D:/img/1.jpg');
$image_codes = base64_encode($image);
?>
<image src="data:image/jpg;charset=utf-8;base64,<?php echo $image_codes; ?>" />
