trq Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 If $background echo's correctly your issue is nothing to do with the php. Your <style> element is within the <body> of your markup. ps; You don't need any while loop if your only expecting 1 result.

cssfreakie Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 although your missing that correct echo background-image:url('<?php $background ?>'); should be background-image:url('<?php echo $background; ?>'); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/244403-php-to-change-background-image/#findComment-1255244 Share on other sites More sharing options...
conan318 Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 is the style element meant to be in the head of the document cause i have tryed it there with no luck either. if i add the image in css file it works fine. but for some reason i cant embed it. strange Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/244403-php-to-change-background-image/#findComment-1255245 Share on other sites More sharing options...
