You can't use PHP variables in the css file. However, you typically 
refer to images using relative paths -- usually including images in the 
same directory as the css, or a sub-directory. The you can refer to the 
image from css:

   #selector { background: url(images/picture.jpg) }

If you really need to use PHP variables to determine the image path, 
then you can add styles to the page header using:

   $HTMLStylesFmt['mystyle'] = '#selector { background: url(' 
.$myPHPvariable .'/picture.jpg) }';
