Background Images in Pages??

Hello:

I'm wondering if you can put a background image in a page in the php mode? If so could you please post the entire code to do this? I have try-ed a dozen ways and have not found one that will work.
Note: I want to have diffrent pages with diffrent backrounds.

Any help would be appreciated :(

it depends on what you want to do in your php page, for example, a ximple div  can do that:


<?php
echo '<div style="background-image:url('urlofmyimage.gif');"> ';

//my code


echo '</div>';
?>

I sorry to say that if you take that code and put it in a SP page in the php mode you get this - Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/class116/public_html/testbb/Sources/Subs-Portal.php(1155) : eval()'d code on line 1

Oh and here is the code I used -
Quoteecho '<div style="background-image:url('http://www.classictoysonline.com/testbb/tribe-images/big_backgrounds/lifebig.jpg');"> ';

//my code


echo '</div>';



So what am I doing wrong?
Thanks for the Help

the code I put was just for example and the error was in   ('urlofmyimage.gif')

you have to scape single quotes with \  like this:

(\'urlofmyimage.gif\')


however, this code will not do nothing unless  you give a valid url for your background  and somthing to fill out the div
