Apparently, you use a Framework. The file you have in the view folder isn't the one you send to the browser, it's just a source file that will be used by your Framework entry point: public/index.php. Your root folder is therefore public.

Two things must then be understood:

  1. Even though the line your type is in application/view/index/index.php, the browser will only see it as index.php, located at the base of your site (http://localhost/index.php or somethig like that). The relative path must therefore be written as relative to public.
  2. As your root folder, public, is seen as http://localhost by the browser, you can't use .., there is nothing above the root of your website, for the browser. You must do one of the followings:
    1. Place your image in public/_images instead of application/_images (normally, all the files that can be sent without passing by the PHP preprocessor can go in public)
    2. Place it wherever you want and create a controller that maps a custom URL to your image. Something like /images/(:any) maps to a controller looking into your specific image folder (please, don't, it's not because you can that you should).

My advice: create a public/img folder and place it your images, then you load it with <img src="/img/title_image_me.jpeg" alt="My picture">. (The initial / is very important there!, it's understood as the root folder of your website, Linux-style).
