 <p>You shouldn't use the <code>sf_upload_dir</code> key because it returns the full path to the image inside the webserver. Like: <code>c:\website\project\web\uploads</code>.</p> <p>You should use <code>sf_upload_dir_name</code> instead, which returns the path to the uploads folder <strong>inside</strong> the web folder.</p> <p>Try:</p> <pre><code>&lt;img src="/&lt;?php echo sfConfig::get('sf_upload_dir_name').'/'.$post-&gt;getImagename() ?&gt;" /&gt; </code></pre>
