<body>
</body>

body {
background:#356aa0 url(<?=base_url()?>img/background.png) repeat-x;
color:#fff;
}
the text color change to white, but the image doesn’t show up…
if i use url(../img/background.png), it show up…
but when i open url localhost/project/index.php/control/function/var1/var2, it doesn’t show up…

CSS file does not get parse as PHP file. If you really want to do something like that, rename your file as styles.php
OPEN the page and add
header("content-type: text/css");
This tells the page to be treated as a text based CSS file. Then you can simple echo your remaining CSS like
echo "
body {
....
....
";
To fix the base_url() not being accessible from styles.php set a session variable to keep that. You can keep this on your index.php of codeignitor.
$_SESSION['base_url'] = base_url();
Now, use this inside styles.php.
background: url("<?php echo $_SESSION['base_url']; ?>"/../../some.jpg");
