To achieve the desired result of displaying an A4 size image as a background image and ensuring it is visible in the printing preview, you can use a combination of PHP and CSS.

1. PHP:
- Begin by creating a PHP file, let's name it "index.php".
- Inside this file, you can define the path to your A4 size image using PHP.
- For example: $imagePath = 'path/to/your/image.jpg';

2. CSS:
- Create a CSS file, let's name it "styles.css".
- Inside this file, define a class for the body element, which will set the background image and other necessary properties.
- For example:
Code:
css
     body {
       background-image: url(<?php echo $imagePath; ?>);
       background-repeat: no-repeat;
       background-size: cover;
       background-position: center center;
     }

3. HTML:
- Create an HTML file, let's name it "index.html".
- Link the CSS file and include the necessary PHP code to retrieve the image path.
- For example:
Code:
html
     <!DOCTYPE html>
     <html>
     <head>
       <title>A4 Size Image Background</title>
       <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css">
     </head>
     <body>
       <!-- Your content and details here -->
     </body>
     </html>

Now, when you open the "index.html" file in a browser, it will display your A4 size image as the background. Additionally, when you access the printing preview, the background image will also be visible.

Remember to replace 'path/to/your/image.jpg' in the PHP code with the actual path to your A4 size image. Make sure you have the image file available in the specified location.

Note: Keep in mind that the visibility of the background image in the printing preview can vary depending on the browser and its settings. Users have control over whether or not to include background images when printing, so it's important to inform them to enable this option in their browser's print settings if they want the background image to be visible in their printouts.
