how to refer absolute path in image src?

[somaskarthic]

Hi
In my php page my i'm displaying a image. The image resides in the same location where the php page resides. when i refer other image src other than in
the document root , it is not working.
/var/www/html is the document root.
My php page and the image resides in var/www/html folder.
I could access it as http://localhost/mypage.php. It displays the image and working fine.
If i refer it from some other folder like /var/imagefolder/, it is not working.

<img src = image1.jpg > ... Works if the php file and image file resides in same path.

<img src = 'file:///var/images/image1.jpg' -- Fails

Please post your replies.
