PHP gurus I need your help please ...
 

Im trying to link this code and image to a url so that when a surfer clicks on the image it takes the surfer back to the homepage.. and I am stuck.. Anybody know how to do this..

Any help appreciated thanks

What's $vars['url'] set as?

Edit: I'm confused at what you're doing, that's CSS with a PHP echo.

you need to define $vars

yes it is css, is there a way I can do this using the css file ? link the image to an url

so whats is the problem?

by looking at your code all seems normal, maybe a slash is missing between closing php tag and "mod/bri..." ?
background:white url(<?php echo $vars['url']; ?>/mod/brighton_boat/graphics/cz4.jpg)no-repeat left top;

how do I do that :helpme

php must be able to interpret php code in css first though if that code is applied in css file.. if its in php..

look at the source and see what $vars['url']; output there or print it somewhere else.

<?php $vars = 'http://www.somedomain.com'; ?>

buttsecks is good for your balls

thank you :thumbsup

indeed, not sure if writing the css as a php file and using a mod rewrite would work, in my head it would lol

it can be done the same way as .html being inturpreted by php engine

Am I missing something or are you all insanely stupid? :eek7

to link the image directly to url it can be done this way:

in styles:
#link1 { background:white url(mod/brighton_boat/graphics/cz4.jpg)no-repeat left top; } /* just make sure to set width and height of an actual image */

in html source
<a id="link1" href="http://URL"></a>

.htaccess

Feel free to give an answer...

Would throw an error as $vars is an array according to his current code, unless he removes the array bit from it so it's just a regular variable.

a simple echo $vars would work a treat

test it...

<?php
$vars = 'http://www.somedomain.com';
echo $vars['url'];
?>

I get this returned, 'h'

<?php
$vars = array('url' => 'http://www.somedomain.com');
echo $vars['url'];
?>

That works though ;)

I'm not entirely sure. I have the flu, and am constantly on the verge of hallucinating due to my fever.

However, even in my current clouded state of mind, most of the posts in this thread seem way off.

First, the .htaccess thing... a far better solution is to rename the .css file to .php, and simply reference that as the style sheet. Works just fine.

Second, the php thing. Why use php if you're going to hardcore the variable, anyway?

Third, the php thing again. His question (as well as his code) had absolutely nothing to do with that piece of php. The url() in the background is the location of the background picture, nothing to do with clickable hyperlinks.

Fourth, the actual question. It makes very little sense. The clickable link is never the background, but the element it's the background of. Since the OP didn't specify what the element is, the entire thread is pointless.

But, again, I'm in a fever-induced state of semi-consciousness, so I may well be talking jibberish which only makes sense to me.
