 * Hi everyone,
 * First of all, i’m an absolutly nob in PHP. Once I’ve said that… Is there any 
   way to define the background imagen url of a div using PHP? I create a type image
   field in my new block, but I only need the url as background, not to show the
   image itself. How can I do it?
 * Thanks!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fbackground-image-in-php%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi gabidedo,
 * you need to set the background with an inline style:
    `<div style=’background-
   image: <?php echo esc_url( $attributes[‘control_name’][‘url’] ); ?>’>YOUR DIV
   CONTENT</div>
 * Maybe the syntax is not correct, writing code on a phone can be difficult 😉
