Some PHP script help please!

[picman2]

Hi Guys,

          I'm hopless with most of this PHP stuff and I'm trying to change the background of my main auction site so it'll show a photo background I've chosen. This is the url to the background:

 

background:url(http://www.search-the-world.com/auctions/images/opalbackground.jpg);

 

And the script is below. But I haven't been able to figure where to put the image url to change the actual background from white to the the url. I've tried many spots without any luck.

This is for the PHP Pro Bid Auction Software.

I'd be grateful if anyone could offer some help letting me know exactly where I have to place the image url in the script below please.

[redarrow]

what is the current color off background white or gray?

[picman2]

Its white.

[Laxidasical]

How about placing the following under "/* GLOBAL classes - skin & pages */" in the CSS file that you posted:

 

body {background: url(http://www.search-the-world.com/auctions/images/opalbackground.jpg);}

 

If you want the background to repeat, then use:

 

body {background-image: url(http://www.search-the-world.com/auctions/images/opalbackground.jpg); background-repeat: repeat;}

 

Hope that helps!

[picman2]

Yes that worked a treat. Many thanks for that.

No problem!
