The php file placed in your /util/ directory will not be accessible by the
web.. everything you want accessible to the web has to be placed in the
/www/ folder.. so place the php file in the /www/ folder (or /www/util/
if you like) and the images in the /www/img/ folder, and use the body tag:
<body background="img/backgroundimage.jpg"> (for /www/)
or
<body background="/img/backgroundimage.jpg"> (for /www/ and /www/util/)
or
<body background="../img/backgroundimage.jpg"> (for /www/util/)
