I have an .html file with a login form and wish to recreate it and save it as a .php file. However, I'm encountering difficulties with setting the background image and other CSS related stuff.
Below is my code for the .php which I'm sure it won't provide guidance to answering my question, but I don't know where to start. I've checked W3schools and many other sites.
A great start to helping me out would on how I would include a .CSS file in .PHP file. Perhaps giving me the a quick source code example. Also, the code to set a fixed background image would be amazing.
<?php
$url = 'C:\Users\George\Documents\HTML\bg.jpg';
?>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>This is a test</title>
<style type="text/css">
body
{
background-image:url('<?php echo $url ?>');
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>This is a test.</p>
</body>
</html>
You should consider have other php files included if you're going to derive a website from it. Instead of doing all the css/etc in that file, you can do
<head>
<?php include_once('C:\Users\George\Documents\HTML\style.css'); ?>
<title>Title</title>
</hea>
Then you can have a separate CSS file that is just being pulled into your php file. It provides some "neater" coding.
I found my answer.
<?php
$profpic = "bg.jpg";
?>
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
body {
background-image: url('<?php echo $profpic;?>');
}
</style>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Hey</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
It's not a good coding to put PHP code into CSS
body
{
background-image:url('bg.png');
}
that's it
Your question doesn't have anything to do with PHP... just CSS.
Your CSS is correct, but your browser won't typically be able to open what you have put in for a URL. At a minimum, you'll need a file: path. It would be best to reference the file by its relative path.
