../ in relative URL not behaving as expected

Almost all the documentation I can find tells me that using "../" in relative URLs goes up one level from the current directory.

So if in the file at "html/testing/new_version/admin/login.php"

I use the following relative URL "../images/fail.gif" then the server should be looking for fail.gif at "html/testing/new_version/images/fail.gif" .

But it come back with a file not found error. It's actually looking for the file in "html/images/fail.gif"

Why is that? Is this a PHP setting of some sort?

is login.php being included into a file that exists in html/ and index.php perhaps? – Orangepill Jul 31 '13 at 18:08
login.php is being included in a file that resides in the same folder. – Lee Blake Jul 31 '13 at 21:44
I'm not sure what part of the code I should include. The file in question is quite long, at it occurs in several places in various files. – Lee Blake Jul 31 '13 at 21:46
