We have folder outside of our WAMP server that we need to access the stored images/photos on local "C:\ourjobs\photos" within PHP code. I know this is a security concern for browsers but is there a work around for this problem?

The links appears to work fine but access to the local drive is restricted..

Any ideas or suggestions are welcome.

<td colspan="2" rowspan="8"><IMG SRC="<?php echo $data['JOB_PHOTO1'];?> WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=32>"</td>
<td colspan="3" rowspan="8"><IMG SRC="<?php echo $data['JOB_PHOTO2'];?>WIDTH=32 HEIGHT=32>"</td>

Not allowed to load

    You should probably set up an ALIAS, so that you can access the contents of that directory via an URL path under the actual domain of the project. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15770778/configure-apache-conf-for-alias – 04FS Feb 20 '19 at 11:52
  • Add quotes to your `src` attributes and maybe add a space here? `?>WIDTH=32` – brombeer Feb 20 '19 at 12:06
  • sorry kerbholz, the source did include quotes.. I failed to post the updated source but have updated the question to contain them now. Hopefully that's still not an issue – Adam M Feb 20 '19 at 13:15
  • The ALIAS appears to be the most viable option at the moment.. I'm still getting a 403 error - You don't have permission to access /img/SNAG-0063.jpg on this server. Does anyone know what permissions need to be set on a Windows system to allow access to a folder/file?? – Adam M Feb 20 '19 at 16:26

Use an absolute URL, like this:

src=http://www.example.com/image.gif""
