Dooky,

I assume that you mean the backgrounds of the pages rendered by PHP. Remember that the primary purpose of PHP is to execute instructions to generate HTML. Therefore, the process for changing the background is the same. See the CSS attribute "background" as applied to <body> or other structure capable of displaying a background.

I would like to keep the css of the php file tables but add a background to the white area surrounding it .!1
Can this be done .??

**dookster** · 03-23-2005, 04:00 PM

this is the code for the header template

<style>
.BlackLink {font-family:verdana; font-size:11; color:black; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:none}
a.BlackLink:hover {text-decoration: underline}

a.BlueLink {font-family:verdana; font-size:11; color:#727272; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:none}
a.BlueLink:hover {text-decoration: underline}

.sector {font-family:verdana; font-size:12; color:black; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:underline}

.RedLink {font-family:verdana; font-size:11; color:red; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:none}
a.RedLink:hover {text-decoration: underline}

.GreenLink {font-family:verdana; font-size:11; color:green; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:none}
a.GreenLink:hover {text-decoration: underline}

.WhiteLink {font-family:verdana; font-size:12; color:white; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:none}
a.WhiteLink:hover {text-decoration: underline}

.OrangeLink {font-family:verdana; font-size:12; color:A8A7A6; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:none}
a.OrangeLink:hover {text-decoration: underline}

a.NavClass {font-family:verdana; font-size:13; color:white; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:none}

a.CatLinks {font-family:verdana; font-size:11; color:white; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:none}
a.CatLinks:hover {text-decoration:underline}

a.SubCatLinks {font-family:verdana; font-size:11; color:#990000; font-weight:bold; text-decoration:none}
a.SubCatLinks:hover {text-decoration:underline}

body {
background-color:white;
font-family:verdana;
font-size:9;
color:black;
font-weight:regular;
text-align:left;

td {font-family:verdana; font-size:12; font-weight:regular; text-decoration:none}
.thead {font-family:verdana; font-size:12; font-weight:bold; color:black; background-color

EDFDE; text-decoration:none}
input, select, textarea {font-family:verdana; font-size:9; color:black; border-width:1; border-color:black}

</style>

Assuming the "white area surrounding it" is the body itself, then change the CSS for that:

Code:


body {
background: url( 'images/yourImage.jpg' ) white;
font-family:verdana;
font-size:9;
color:black;
font-weight:regular;
text-align:left;

**dookster** · 03-23-2005, 05:17 PM

I think ive really screwed things up now all the alignment is out .!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! on the footer .!!!

**dookster** · 03-23-2005, 05:18 PM

It would actually be...

HTML Code:

body {
[b]background: url( images/yourImage.jpg ) white;[/b]
font-family:verdana;
font-size:9;
color:black;
font-weight:regular;
text-align:left;

take the two ' ' off the background part.

**Kyrnt** · 03-23-2005, 05:35 PM

dan245,
I think you can use grouping there if need be. The W3C actually uses double quotes in an example here.

At http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/css/units.html, the WDG say:

**dan245** · 03-23-2005, 06:30 PM

Could that still be the problem, though?

**dookster** · 03-23-2005, 06:43 PM

Hi guys ......
i have resolved all the background images in the php files apart from this one , it will go to the background i want until i log in then the whole screen fills with the background and does not show the other php file any ideas , or am i talking gibberish ....

code

<?
require_once("conn.php");

if(isset($_POST[s1]))
{
$q1 = "select * from class_members where username = '$_POST[us]' and password = '$_POST[ps]' ";
$r1 = mysql_query($q1) or die(mysql_error());

if(mysql_num_rows($r1) == '1')
{
//ok
$a1 = mysql_fetch_array($r1);

$_SESSION[MemberID] = $a1[MemberID];
$_SESSION[MaxOffers] = $a1[StandardAds] + $a1[FeaturedAds];
$_SESSION[AccountStatus] = $a1[AccountStatus];
$_SESSION[AccountExpDate] = $a1[ExpDate];

header("location:YourAccount.php");
exit();
}
else
{
$error = "<font face=verdana color=red size=2><b>Invalid username/password!</b></font>";
}

$RemainingCredits = $a1[StandardAds] + $a1[FeaturedAds] - $ap[0];
$PostedAds = $ap[0];

$BuyMore = "<br><center><a class=RedLink href=\"more.php\">Buy More Credits</a></center><br>";
