Setting images from a mysql db as background images

[Guest]

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.

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

You can try the methods discussed in this thread: http://www.daniweb.com/web-development/php/threads/160935

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.

I know people can simply right click and view background images, but I also know allot people who aren't as browser savy won't. thanks for the link.

They aren't the ones you need to worry about anyhow....

You can put an image in a table cell as a background image, then put a 1x1 pixel transparent image in the cell and size it to the image size. Then when someone right clicks, all they can get is the transparent image. What they can still do, however, is take a screen shot.

Or look at the code.  Sheesh!

Or download from Activity window in Safari.

Better yet - or from the Web Developer interface in Safari, or Firebug in FF.  I'm now curious what it is about these images that would make people want to grab them!
