How to give a php document a background image?

[N0L1m1t5]

This is the code I have if a user enters the wrong password into the basic username and password field,

 

 

<?php

else

    echo "<br><br><center><h1>Error:</h1>Incorrect Password!</center>";

?>

 

How can I give this page a background image, using css? Where would i put the code?

 

Thanks

<?php

else

    echo "<br><br><center><h1>Error:</h1>Incorrect Password!</center>";

?>

<style type='text/css'>

body { background-color: color; }

</style>

<?

if you have more stuff here

?>

 

this should do it

When you say to post this:

 

<?php

else

    echo "<br><br><center><h1>Error:</h1>Incorrect Password!</center>";

?>

<style type='text/css'>

body { background-color: color; }

</style>

<?

if you have more stuff here

?>

 

 

did you intentionally not write a beginning <?php before the sentence "<style type...." and an ending ?> after the ending </style> tag??

Thanks

the style tag is not in php therefore you don't need php opening/closing tags. Also I just copied the code from your post without noticing you don't have function brackets {} which are supposed to be put like this

 

<?php
else{
echo "<br><br><center><h1>Error:</h1>Incorrect Password!</center>";
?>
<style type='text/css'>
body { background-color: color; }
</style>
<?php
}
?>

 

you could either do

 

<?php
else{
echo "<br><br><center><h1>Error:</h1>Incorrect Password!</center>";
echo "
<style type='text/css'>
body { background-color: color; }
</style>";
}
?>

 

but if you validate this code it's going to say you can not place style tags in the body tag, which I don't understand why because they work and don't seem to have any complications, so if someone more competent could explain why the validators say this is wrong I'd be grateful too
