Leif K-Brooks said:Is http://www.example.com/redirect1.php an image, or is it an HTML page?
If it's an image, it should become the page's background image. If it's
just an HTML page, as I suspect it is, then the browser will try to use
it as a background image but fail.
I'm sorry, but how should this work? a browser cannot display a htmlNospam said:It is an html page, is there any workaround to redirect to the html page
without the browser failing?

random background-image or something like that using that php script. So
if I got you right you are searching for a way to load a different
document using CSS? or what exactly are you looking for? I do not really
understand what you are planning to do, I'm sorry.
The redirection works, no matter how is called. You can call it via the
browsers address-bar, via any HTML-code, it doesn't matter.
the server just recognises that something or somebody wants to get the
file and sends the file you redirect to instead of the file which the
browser (or whatever wanted to get the file) wanted to have... quite
simple, I hope my explanation wasn't that complicated..
HTH, jojo
BTW: please make sure that your posting goes *behind* the quote, makes
reading simpler if you can read from the top to the bottom instead of
the way round... thank you!
And please try to configure your OE better, look at the terrible quotes
in your posts... or, would even be better, don't use OE... thanks again
why do you need HTML to redirect? use .htaccess:Is there a simple example of redirecting to
the php file using html , css or any other way?

Where did you ever get the bizarre idea that using an HTML page
(redirected or not) as a background image would work as a way to
redirect the page? It doesn't.
As for what a *real* way of doing such a redirect would be, how about
maybe redirecting the URL of the *page* itself using .htaccess, rather
than of the background image in the CSS?

My apologies again for the questions, but I what I have is a page linking to
a particular image on a certain page, I would like to redirect the link to
that image without having to redirect the entire html page, just that little
section that is linking to the image to my php file, is this not possible?
maybe not with css but something else?

Where is the image?

way to go through this
Dan said:You can redirect an image, but only to another image, not an HTML page.
It would be all right to redirect it to a PHP document, if what the
PHP code does is output an image. Since the place you're referencing
the image is as the background image of a section of an HTML page, the
only thing that's appropriate to use there is another image.
Perhaps what you really are trying to do could be accomplished with a
different method, such as an iframe or a server-side include?
