I have a simple question. How do you set mysql image results as background images. I already know how to display images from a mysql db so know need to explain that process. I also know how to set images as backgrounds using css. However setting mysql results as background images is a different process.  I need to know this because I'm creating a image gallery and I don't want people dragging images off the page, thanks in advance.

Why bother? As shocker says, there a plenty of other simple methods people can use to get your images - if they're displaying on the visitors PC they've already been downloaded.

That will not prevent users from obtaining your images through alternative methods.
