Dear List -
I really do not know where to send this, but feel that PHP programmers
are well familiar with HTML/CSS.
See the attached program. The background file exists,
root@meow:/var/www/Webpages2# cd ..
root@meow:/var/www# ls Webpages2/Images/background3.jpeg
Webpages2/Images/background3.jpeg
but it does not display.
The script is in /var/www
The image is in /var/www/Webpages2/Images/
What is my mistake?
TIA

Ethan, paths which you supply in CSS are paths to files called from the
client. This means that they have to be relative to the current URI, not
the system path. So this is fully dependent on how the server-path is
translated to a domain-URI.
I would guess that "/var/www/Webpages2" is translated to something like
www.example.com/, with "/var/www/Webpages2" thus being the domain root.
If you then supply "url("Webpages2/Images/background3.jpeg")" it will
look for www.example.com/Webpages2/Images/background3.jpeg in
/var/www/Webpages2/Webpages2/Images which is obviously wrong.
Change it to /Images/background3.jpeg and it will most likely work.

P.S. Why did you bother to echo all that HTML in the document? Just make
it a fully static HTML file, no need for it to be partially PHP which
simply prints static content.
