Hi,
Im having some problems when including image tags that use relative
URLs. Seems that dompdf doesn't find the image. For example, if I use
<img src="/img/logo.jpg" />, I get a red X and the image is not
displayed.
If I want them to appear, I have to put an absolute URL, like this:
<img src="http://www.mydomain.com/img/logo.jpg" />
Im using the Cake framework, PHP5.
Does somebody has an idea of what could be causing the problem? Any
help will be appreciated.
Thanks for the lib, and your time!
Esteban.

It works absolutely fine for me, perhaps you should take out the
leading slash..? no need for /blah/img.jpg
just put blah/img.jpg
i have no problem with this, so i would make sure your path is correct
leading slash..? no need for /blah/img.jpg
just put blah/img.jpg

Nice pun, that one ;)

That's not necessarily true. The web page could be in a subdirectory
of the site. So the path used really depends on his site structure.

The main thing to focus on is how you're using DOMPDF. When you load
an HTML document via the local file system (e.g. $dompdf-
>load_html_file('myfile.html')) DOMPDF will have no knowledge of that
file being part of a web server. In this instance DOMPDF will assume
all path references in the document are local file system references.
This means DOMPDF will look for /img/logo.jpg in that location on the
file system. What you really want is for DOMPDF to look in /local/
filesystem/path/to/web/files/img/logo.jpg.
You only have one option if you don't want to rewrite all your image
source attributes to use a full URI. Specifically, load your HTML
document via your web server: $dompdf->load_html_file('http://
www.mysite.com/myfile.html');
Hope that helps.

psycho. As much as I like to help people it's great to have a vocal
community as well. No one person can answer every query ... and still
have a day job ;)
