Do you know anything about file_directory_path()?  It returns "files", which is correct for use from the home directory, but not useful on other levels.

I can't get anything other than "/" returned by base_path(), regardless of the level I'm on.  I must be missing something.

As URL?

Assuming it were ./files, then try sthg like <?php base_path() . 'files' ?>

Thanks.  Is there something like that to get me to the files directory?

Try the following:

<?php base_path() . path_to_theme() ?>/box_bottom.png

<img src="<?php print base_path() . path_to_theme() . "/pic/mary.png"; ?>" />

Apparently Drupal does not allow you to reference absolute URL paths in scripts, which is causing me a problem.  I have a script in my page.tpl.php that randomly picks images from a directory and displays them in the header.  This works when you're on the top level, but not below since I'm using a relative path to get to the image directory.  Can anyone tell me the proper way of doing this?
