Answer 1

Try to use relative addressing rather than absolute addressing.

Asuming you have no other choice, use this file:/// in front of the addresses.

<img src="file:///C:/Program Files/EasyPHP-5.3.2i/www/Place4Info/Images/Skin_Tone/light.JPG" width= "50" height="30"/>

Answer 2

Full paths (that's what you are calling a long path) should include a protocol: add file:/// to the beginning of the path

Answer 3

Referencing an image from a local file

You need to upload your picture from a publically available source (probably the web!) It looks like you have uploaded it, but you probably should be referencing it relatively, for example something like:

<img src="Images/Skin_Tone/light.JPG" width= "50" height="30"/>

(Modify path as necessary)

Getting mixed up with client/server side

PHP has nothing to do with firefox or internet explorer or any other browser. It is server side, and you are referncing a client side problem.
