What are best practices for handling background images in PHP scripts?

When handling background images in PHP scripts, it is best practice to store the image file path in a variable and then use that variable within the HTML or CSS code to set the background image. This allows for easier management and updating of the image path in the future. 

<?php
// Define the background image file path
$background_image = "images/background.jpg";
?>

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <style>
        body {
            background-image: url('<?php echo $background_image; ?>');
            background-size: cover;
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Welcome to my website</h1>
</body>
</html>
