    Question Session variable not echoing in linked CSS file

    These are all self contained out-of-the-box should be working just fine files. The problem is that a session is not working inside of the style.css.php file. Both my local and live servers are running PHP 5.2.5 right now (my local XAMPP server on XP is running default settings). A friend who ranks fairly high in experience is baffled (and here I was on a roll tonight and on a weekend too!) so I tried a few things such as restarting Apache, disabling/enabling cache in Firefox, testing FF2, FF3, and IE6; I even rebooted and nothing!

    The real world situation is simple as this: all the CSS is saved to a session variable. That session variable is then echoed inside of a stylesheet and naturally it should style the page. You can test the desired functionality by using the following echo on line 8 in the index.php file to emulate what a correctly functioning linked style sheet will look like once it's working.
    <?php echo $_SESSION['css'];?>
    Since it's not working in a linked CSS file obviously I have to break the code up a little. Here is what I currently have...

    (Continued in second post due to text limit...a text limit?!?)
