Load relative path of images instead of <?php echo $img ?>

Question

The timthumb function is not working after the security setting of web server is raised. Images with "http://...." in URL are blocked.

I have found that <?php echo $img ?> was used to load the image. Original code:

<img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/scripts/timthumb.php?h=100&amp;w=100&amp;zc=1&amp;src=<?php echo $img ?>" alt="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>" width="100" height="100" />

Would someone please tell me how can I modify the code so that instead of

http://domain.com/wp-content/themes/a/scripts/timthumb.php?h=100&w=100&zc=1&src=http://domain.com/wp-content/uploads/thumbnail.jpg

the image URL will be

http://domain.com/wp-content/themes/a/scripts/timthumb.php?h=100&w=100&zc=1&src=../wp-content/uploads/2013/10/thumbnail.jpg

?

The code inside timthumb.php is super long. I will post the code if it's needed.

I know almost nothing about php code and only use plugins to build Wordpress websites. You would have save my life. Thank you very very much!

It depends on where it is getting $img value from. If this is just a field on your article (through the extra parameters on the bottom), you could simply alter the url in your post. Alternatively, you could process the path, stripping out the http://domain.com/ and replace it with ../,

a la:

$img = str_replace("http://domain.com/", "../", $img);

just before echoing it out on to the page.
