How to put php tag in background url?

I have code like this ;

$Photo = filtering($row['FileIcon128']);

<div class="image" style="background:url(/images/imgs/<?php echo $Photo ?>)"></div>

I tried everything

 filtering($row['FileIcon128']); , echo ''.$Photo.'';

instead of 

 $Photo

But i cant get picture. Any idea?

By the way, i have to use 

<div class="image"

Give this a shot:

<?php
$Photo = filtering($row['FileIcon128']);
$string = "/images/imgs/" . $Photo;
?>
<div class="image" style="background-image:url('<?php echo $string; ?>')"></div>

Explanation

I saw 3 possible bugs in your code, which were:

1) <?php echo $Photo ?> without a semicolon after $Photo. I don't know if that's a syntax error or not in inline php, however I added the semicolon to make sure and concatenated the static string with the dynamic variable to make for a less messy inline PHP like this: <?php echo $string; ?>.

2) background:url() is not the right way to do this. You want to be as explicit as you can, so background-image:url().

3) background-image:url() without '' (apostrophes) surrounding the parameter passed. background-image:url('') fixed that. I just echoed the code in between the two apostrophes.
