Repeat-y, not working

 // The logo, user information, news, and menu.   echo ' <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="center" width="95%" class="tborder" style="background: url('.$settings['images_url'].'/left.gif) repeat-y;"><img src="'.$settings['images_url'].'/left.gif" alt="" />;                     

Hi, im trying to repeat an image, but it only appears one time, at the top-left. I want join an image to the border of a table to make it a background.

Im not really good in PHP, but guess the error is you need to use <? ?> when you write PHP code......style="background: url('<? .$settings['images_url']. ?>'/left.gif) repeat-y;">

Humm, i try to use <? ?> but return parse error.Parse error: parse error, unexpected '?' in index.template.php on line 113

The <? ?> should produce an error, as it's already withintags, and a echo!"First change this

background: url('.$settings['images_url'].'/left.gif) repeat-y;"

to this:

background: url(\''.$settings['images_url'].'/left.gif\') repeat-y;"

Note the quoted ' (\')...Also make shure that the class tbody doesn't overwrite the background...The PHP seams ok (since you see the images) so this is realy an CSS question...When i took a closer look I found some problems (at least in the version you display here..):First you don't end the string!Second: you can't put an image directly in an table!This is better:

echo "\n\n".'<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="center" width="95%" class="tborder" style="background: url(\''.$settings['images_url'].'/left.gif\') repeat-y;">'."\n";echo '<tr><td><img src="'.$settings['images_url'].'/left.gif" alt="" /></td></tr>';

Then I don't get why you use the backround in the table as an "alone image"... it can't look good..Hope that helps!Good Luck and Don't Panic!

Sorry, but I can't find the part you have in your first post in the HTML code in that forum, so it's hard to help...But this is an example on how you could do it (as I can't find the right part of the HTML...)

<table ...> <tr>	 <td style="height: 100%; background: url('<?php echo $settings['images_url']?>/left.gif') repeat-y;"> </td> </tr><tr>	 <td>		  <table..> /* Content table */ </table>	 </td> </tr><tr>	 <td style="height: 100%; background: url('<?php echo $settings['images_url']?>/right.gif') repeat-y;"> </td> </tr>
