i wonder, can yii get data from local drive?

for example, my yii is in C drive


htdocs/myprojectyii/

and i want get image from drive E in


E:/images/myimage.jpg

i’ve been tried this solution


<?php $path = 'file:///E:/images/myimage.jpg'?>

		<img src="<?php echo $path ?>" width="100" height="100"/>

but there’s error


Not allowed to load local resource:file:///E:/images/myimage.jpg

Try this path:


file://E:/images/myimage.jpg

Of course it may only work in Firefox. More

You could create a virtual host to your images folder.

@msoa: your answer just like what i already do

@outrage: virtual host?could you explain to me?

outrage order is that you have to place your files in a location to be seen with the web server. meaning the web server have authorization to access the files location.

Creating virtual hosts on Apache 2.2

Also there are very tutorials on the Internet.

@msoa: i’ve tried it but i can’t connect to my localhost.

Did you restart Apache after the changes(can do this forom Service Manager)? Also i think you have to restart Windows Network Service. I’m not very familiar with Windows, for simplicity restart your system and try again.
