[SOLVED] Trying to use php code in an inline style sheet

[ktrollinger]

Hi - trying to use an inline style to dynamically place a background image - then use html text on top of that image for higher SEO/ Google Quality score.

 

Tried escaping with no luck

 

Working hard-coded example: background-image: url(images/Bar_Chair_only.jpg);

 

Tested and no work version:

 

<style type="text/css">

<!--

.product_bg_img {

background-image: url(/images/<\?php echo \$row_qProduct\['Large_Image'\]; \?>);

background-repeat: no-repeat;

}

-->

</style>

 

Any help appreciated.

Give this a try:

 

<?php
$image = "/images/$row_qProduct['Large_Image']";
?>

<style type="text/css">
<!--
.product_bg_img {
background-image: url("<?php echo $image; ?>");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
-->
</style>

Thanks - got an error: 

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING

 

Any thoughts?

 

Again Thanks for the help.

got a line number on the error?

try

 

$image = "/images/".$row_qProduct['Large_Image'];

Thanks

 

Looks very close - though the extra "/images/" piece is killing me. My bad, though. . .the path is in the  <?php echo $image; ?> so i am getting doubled - as in  /images/images/xxxx.jpg

 

I tried removing the "/images/" and couple other things with no luck.

 

Thanks.

Solved!

 

back slash before the "?php echo $image; ?>" did the trick

 

<?php

$image = $row_qProduct['Large_Image'];

?>

 

<style type="text/css">

<!--

.product_bg_img {

background-image: url("/<?php echo $image; ?>");

background-repeat: no-repeat;

}

-->

</style>
