Arguments
- $file (string) (required) (default: none) The filename of the image, including the extension
- $dir (string) (optional) (default: 'images') The directory within the theme directory in which
$file
is located. Defaults to the standard directory 'images'.
Return Values
- (string) The URL to the image to be included.
Example(s)
Include an image in a theme file
<img src="<?php echo img('logo.png'); ?>" />

from the directory themes/[YOUR THEME]/images/
. Be sure to include the extension (e.g., .png, .jpg, .gif) as a part of the file name.
