TheBurtle Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 1. Make sure images are fully qualified (http://www.yoursite.com/images/image.png) and not (./images/image.png) 2. I have never bothered trying to get CSS to work remote from email, so the best I could offer there would be to embed the CSS in your normal style tags Not a full fix, but hope this helps.

sudhakararaog Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share Posted December 24, 2009 initially i used a repeating background using css by specifying repeat-x for a div that holds the background image, when i tested this by sending an email using php i noticed that when i clicked view images in gmail i am able to see all the images i used as <img> tag specifying its absolute path, but not repeating background using css so i tried using the repeating background inside a <td> which repeated fine when i access the page on my local machine and from a server, however when i used it for the email example , even with <td> tag gmail is not able to repeat the background image, i would image this would be the case with other email clients as well, is there any workaround for repeating backgrounds either as repeat-x or repeat-y for email clients in this case when sending an email from a php file thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/186187-sending-email-with-php/#findComment-983510 Share on other sites More sharing options...
