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 have a redirect in my htaccess to a php file, however I am trying to see
if the redirect works from css, by this code
body{background-image:url(http://www.example.com/redirect1.html); should
redirect to

(http://www.example.com/redirect1.php); but for some strange reason doesn't
work in the css, does anyone know what is wrong?

It is an html page, is there any workaround to redirect to the html page
without the browser failing?

I'm sorry, but how should this work? a browser cannot display a html
page as background-*image*...

I meant is there an alternative way of using the html page as a redirection
apart from using it as a background image?

Oh, sorry, I got you wrong than. I guessed that you want to load a
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 browser 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

my apologies for top posting. Is there a simple example of redirecting to
the php file using html , css or any other way?

why do you need HTML to redirect? use .htaccess:

Redirect permanent /file.html http://www.domain.de/file2.html

or php:

header("Location: http://www.example.com/file2.html");

but it is possible with HTML:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=file2.html">

But if you can avoid using the "meta-refresh" don't use it. It's some
kind of "dirty" and ASFAIK it does not work with all browsers (but with
the most)

HTH, jojo

Yes, top posting is an almost unforgivable sin, but at least it's
worse than double-posting, even when excoriating somebody else for
their sins. <snicker!>

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?

The image is on a domain:

http://www.example.com/image1.jpg

and on the html http://www.example.com/redirect.html

I would like to redirect all links to the image (ideally within the window
the image occupies) to my php file which is at
http://www.example.com/redirect.php , still within my
http://www.example.com/redirect.html page. I am unsure which is the best
way to go through this

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?

Is there an example of how I could do this with an i-frame or server side
include?
