Absolute and Relative Paths?

Can someone cofirm that I have got the paths correct here?

$PATH_TO_TMP_DIR='/tmp';
#$PATH_TO_TMP_DIR='home/tmp';

$PATH_TO_YOUR_IMG_DIR = '/temp_images';
#$PATH_TO_YOUR_IMG_DIR = 'home/public_html/Midwich/temp_images';

Thanks

Hi.

I'm not sure what the question is.

Are the paths correct for what?

As per the subject, I can only say that the paths are absolute. The commented paths (starting with #) are relative.
