index.php中的内联样式不显示从数据库中提取的背景图像

Question

I have an index.php which I have successfully filled with content from the relevant tables in a mysql database. However there is one section (events) that has a background image that is defined in the css. However after changing the css to a php and making sure to give mention <?php header("Content-type: text/css; charset: UTF-8"); ?>, background-image:url:"<?php echo $eventsrow[0]['filepath'];?>" was throwing the style of the entire document out of whack apart from not showing the image.

So i decided to put the image call in the index.php instead, as I had done for the other sections, by using inline style: <div class="monthevent" style="background-image:url("<?php echo $eventsrow[0]['filepath'];?>");">

However the image does not appear at all. Is there something wrong with this? Would appreciate any light. A var_dump on the above variable, gives the correct value: ie. the filepath, but the image is not displayed; also I tried adjusting the path relative to the css (just in case), but no image turned up. Would appreciate any thoughts on what the issue might be?

You have to use like this:

<div class="monthevent" style="background-image:url('<?php echo $eventsrow[0]['filepath'];?>');">

Not the double quotes inside the url, use single quotes to differentiate the url!

If you use double quotes:

<div class="monthevent" style="background-image:url("your_url.com");">
</div>

If you use single quotes:

<div class="monthevent" style="background-image:url('your_url.com');">
</div>
