My mistake. I don't think you can use an image for a table background.

 

I believe the background property is even deprecated or non-existant.

 

If you want a portion of your website to have a background image, you'd need to use CSS to accomplish that.

 

Have a read up here:

http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_background.asp

Do you want to show a small table with a background or just print the words?

 

As shown the echo will try to show a table but with no text, or would just repeat the words if you substituted the < and > with the character codes. Add the ; on the end and disable the " in the statement with a \ (although I may be wrong here because you have used ' to open and close the echo).

<?php echo '<table background=\"Photo-0010.jpg\"></table>';
?>

 

If you want to show a small table try

<?php echo '<table><tr><td style=\"background: url(\"Photo-0010.jpg\")\">Text in cell</td></tr></table>';
?>

 

Remember the ; at the end of the echo statement which I added to both above. You may need to use " instead of ' for the echo statement ( I never use ' ). Check the case of Photo-0010.jpg which isn't the same as photo-0010.jpg and try an absolute url for the image http://www.domain.com/Photo-0010.jpg although as Samus says, it may be impossible anyway.

 

EDIT:

You would do better to use php include instead of echo. I got this simple cod eto work. The main file is:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
  "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

<html  xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" 
lang="en">

<head>
<meta name="keywords" content="Wickham"/>                
<meta name="description" content="Test items"/>            
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;  
charset=iso-8859-1"/>

<title>Test</title>
</head>

<body>

<?php 
include ("table-background.inc"); 
?>

</body>
</html>                  

and the separate include file called table-background.inc was

<table style="background: url(orangew90x90.jpg); border: 
5px solid black; width: 90px; height: 90px; border-spacing: 
0;">
<tr>
<td>Text in cell<br>Text<br>Text
</td>
</tr>
</table>

where you need a bit of text to see the background and you need sizes. Change the image filename to one of your's.
