Background code inside a php function

[masterofollies]

Instead of setting up a css background code using a div, or by using the body bgcolor in html. Is there another way to code a background in php?

So when I go to my function its a plain white background. I would like to use some kind of coding thats like <background color="#CD73A8"> or something. Possible?

PHP is server side and won't do that. You can have PHP print something that WILL do that - but that wouldn't be php, that'd be whatever php prints (html or javascript).

I would use a PHP if statement.

PHP Code:

if (true) {

echo "<background color=\"#CD73A8\">";

} else {
echo "<background color=\"#000000\">";
}

Hmm don't have any statements needed to be true in this.

So say I put a CSS called #blah and only had a background color in it.

and in the script did echo "<div class="blah">Content here</div>";

Would that work?
