I stumbled upon this article http://www.chrisjdavis.org/2005/10/16/php-in-css/ and was trying out variables with PGP, but can't get it to work. I wanted to have a variable image that changes on refresh, and also set the body color with PHP/CSS and maybe get that to change on refresh too. sp from the tutorial mentioned above I have: [php] <?php /** * * create our font class. * **/ class font { /** CONSTRUCTOR * * In PHP 4 your constructor has to have the same name as the class * in PHP 5 it would be thus: * * function __construct($args=array()) { * $this->fields = array'body','image_float'); * foreach ($this->fields as $field) { * $this->{"$field"} = $args["$field"]; * } * } * } * **/ function font($args=array()) { $this->fields = array('body','image_float'); foreach ($this->fields as $field) { $this->{"$field"} = $args["$field"]; } } } /** * * create our color class. * **/ class color { /** * * In PHP 4 your constructor has to have the same name as the class, see above. * **/ function color($args=array()) { $this->fields = array('body','image_float'); foreach ($this->fields as $field) { $this->{"$field"} = $args["$field"]; } } } /** * * create and setup our color object * **/ $color = new color(array( body => "#000", )); /** * * And now we write our rotation script * **/ function rotater() { // we start off with the path to your images directory $path='images'; // srand(time()) will generates the random number we need for our rotater srand(time()); for ($i=0; $i < 1; $i++) { // here we are assigning our random number to a variable name so we can call it later. An important note here, you see we are dividing rand() by 6, 6 is the number of images you have to work with, so if you have 10, we would: rand()%10) $random = (rand()%6); // so our files in our images folder are named side_image1.gif, side_image2.gif, side_image3.gif etc. We construct the file name once we have the random number: $file = 'image_float'; $image = $path . $file . $random . '.gif'; } // echo $image here in the function, } ?> [/php] In the XHTML I have: <div class="image_float"> </div> and of course a <body> tag. in my css I have: div.image_float{ background-image: url(<?php rotater(); ?>) no-repeat; float:left; width:75px; height:75px; padding:15px; } and also body { background-color: <?php echo $color->body; ?>; } in my directory, I have a folder called images which is at the root level with the index file and css, and the images are called side_image1, side_image2, side_image3 etc. can anyone see whay this isn't working? Neither the background body color or the rotating image works. thanks -- ::Bruce:: -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
