img src="systems/<?=ACTIVE_SITE?>/templates/<?=SITE_TEMPLATE?>/img/index_05.jpg

can someone tell me where the jpg file should go using the above path?

what does ACTIVE_SITE and SITE_TEMPLATE actually mean?

<?= is short for "<?php echo " and the two items you're questioning are constants.

echo means display

A constant is defined someplace else in the script. It can be set once and cannot be changed. The code that sets it would look like:

Code: Select all

define('ACTIVE_SITE', 'images')
So the browser would receive something like:

Code: Select all

 
img src="systems/images/templates/default_template/img/index_05.jpg
 
You can view the source of the page using your browser to get the actual values, or search the code for the define statements.
