how can we include php file within css file
Hi everyone,
I am working a color varying site now. I want to change the color for every page using CSS.
Since, I hav a colors on my database. I jus want to call the color in the css file.
I havn't idea that how to declare a php variable(e.g.., $color) in the style.css file.
Pls, suggest me
Thanks,
Manisha

You can't.
...kinda.
The solution is to output a css stylesheet with php.
Basically...
css.php:
<?php
echo "a {color:blue;}";
?>
I don't think that css needs any particular format notes, like a header, but php can also output those if needed.
Additionally, you could add .css as a php-interpreted extension... how to do so is around here somewhere... then any <?php ... ?> tags would be interpreted in .css files just like .php.

That needs to be a little trickier- since Moz/FF is picky about proper MIME type- and PHP will by default return text/html. Therefore you'll need to sendto make it work right.Code:header('Content-type: text/css')
After that: you'll need to assign a handler or type to css files themselves
like in apache
Code:AddType application/x-httpd-php .css

This is inefficient, since all CSS will be parsed as PHP. Better to simply give it a .php extension:After that: you'll need to assign a handler or type to css files themselvesCode:<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css.php">

Hi
You can iclude a php file into <head> section of your pages like that;
<style>
<?php include ("style.php"); ?>
</style>
style.php behaves like a css file now.
Define variable $color;
and you can use it in the style.php like a property of your css-classes like;
body {
color: <?echo $color;?>
}
In the code below, $color is changed according to page name, via variable $page. But this solution isn't useful, you must define every pages in if-else statement at the style.php.
Content of style.php
<?
$page=$_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"];
$color;
if ((strpos($page, "default.php")>0)){
$color="#000000";
}
else if ((strpos($page, "a.php")>0)){
$color="#E2E2E2";
}
else if ((strpos($page, "b.php")>0)){
$color="red";
}
?>
body {
font-family:arial;
color:<?echo $color;?>
}
