hi guys,

the main layout of my websites is in a file called main.php. the main layout is constructed of a table and one of the cells has a background image which i would like to change to a specific image depending on which page is loaded.

at the moment my links look like: main.php?pagename=home and main.php?pagename=contact

i would like the cell in home.php to have a different background to contact.php.

ive tried using a couple of things i already know but to no avail!

could someone give me some advice on what code i should add and where to main.php and what would the page links now read.

thank you very much for any help given.

all the best,

mark
