src absolute path problem

I have an image in C:\wamp\www\site\img and i try to display it in a page with this:

<img src="C:\wamp\www\site\img\mypicture.jpg"/>

but it's not working.The file is actually there and if I try to refer to it with a relative path i got the picture

<img src="../img/mypicture.jpg">

where is the error?what am I missing?? thank you again guys!

First open the image in any web browser. Then copy the path and add it as image source location like this :

src="file:///C:/wamp64/www/site/img/mypicture.jpg"

You should be referencing it as localhost. Like this:

<img src="http:\\localhost\site\img\mypicture.jpg"/>

I think because C would be seen the C drive on the client pc, it wont let you. And if it could do this, it would be a big security hole.
