You don't always have to echo everything, sometimes it is easier to go out of PHP.
?>
<!-- HTML BABY -->
<body style="background: url(images/background.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed">
<?php

// more stuff here

?>

is this vBulletins index.php?

Don't do the ?> thing with vBulletin. Add the extra CSS into your body CSS. (Style Manager > Main CSS) if you only want it for index.php I will try another way.

What I would do is:

FORUMHOME:

find <body>

replace with <body style="background: url(images/background.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed">
