Background css in php

Question

I used style.php as a style file.. and this is a part of that file

.<?php echo $cty2; ?> {
background: url(images/<?php echo $cty2; ?>.jpg) no-repeat;
}

when I go to style.php (browser), this will appear

.newyorkny {
background: url(images/newyorkny.jpg) no-repeat;
}

But the page background didn't appear!

and when I changed this

.<?php echo $cty2; ?> {
background: url(images/<?php echo $cty2; ?>.jpg) no-repeat;
}

to this (without php)

.newyorkny {
background: url(images/newyorkny.jpg) no-repeat;
}

then the BG appeared

so, how I force the BG to appear with php style?

======== Edited ============

And this is the style.php file

I think there is no wrong or right answer to your question because you don't really ask for something. There are literally a hundred ways to solve it, but you might just want to learn about something very basic like what a CSS selector is. Can you share a bit more? — hakre

You are doing this completely wrong, why not just make it a .css file and then include it according to city, and what do you mean that it showed the background? Where?

Include it according to the city, I mean like:

echo '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="'.$cty2.'" />';

Hatim Over a year ago

background i mean this " background: url(images/newyorkny.jpg) no-repeat; " it appear in the style.php (on fireFox) but the index.php ther is no background

alexpja Over a year ago

So are you using <style> etc?

Hatim Over a year ago

no, I think the prblem in the encoding of $cty2, what is the perfect encode for this?

Hatim Over a year ago

it came from: $cty = trim($TMPL['city']); $cty2 = str_replace(" ", "", "$cty"); $cty2 = str_replace(",", "", "$cty2"); $cty2 = strtolower($cty2); $ct = $TMPL['city']; $TMPL['weather'] = $cty2; and its result if the city is New York NY is: newyorkny

alexpja Over a year ago

See where you have "$cty" and "$cty2"? I suggest taking those double-quotes out and try again.

You need to set the content type, the server is serving your style.php as text/html and the browser expects text/css, to set the content type use the header function.

header('Content-Type: text/css');
