Hi,

in need of stylesheet guidance for php file.

[grahame]

Can I just add
<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
to the php file and the appropriate divs?
Im getting a bit confused so if someone can help me out that would be great.
Thanks

The answer is YES, provided that you do so in the appropriate place within the HTML sections - in other words, provided that you don't add it between the <?php and ?> tags (If you want to add it there, you can but you need to use a PHP print or echo).
Interestingly, I've been doing some PHP work with styles over the last couple of weeks. In order to meet the requirements of the UK Disability Discrimination Act, as a "supplier" we have to make all reasonable efforts to ensure that our site is as accessible as possible to people with disabilities and that includes offering a variety of font and colour options. We're doing it through style sheets, with the styles generated by PHP and it's working a treat.
Here's the start our our .css file ...

Code: Select all

<?php
header("content-type: text/css");
$mencolour = "#ffffcc";
$texcolour = "#000000";
$bfsize = 10;
if ($_REQUEST[fsize] == 4) $bfsize = 8;
if ($_REQUEST[fsize] == 2) $bfsize = 12;
if ($_REQUEST[fsize] == 1) $bfsize = 16;
?>
body {
font: normal <?= $bfsize ?>px verdana;
color: <?= $texcolour ?>;
}
.body {         /* Body spans */
font: normal <?= $bfsize ?>px verdana;
color: <?= $texcolour ?>;
text-align: left;
text-indent: 0pt;
width: 454px;
}

Yes ... or rather it's the start of my style sheet file. If the extension is to be .css, then you need to configure the web server to parse .css files through PHP, or use mod_rewrite to point the .css file request to a .php script. Much easier to use a .php extension, at least in testing / if you don't mind the nosey source viewer noticing what you're doing.

My .css coding is NOT clean, by the way; a case of the shoemaker's children having bare feet. For historic reasons, we have a style called "body" and the three if statements in my code all on the same variable could be much neater. I also need to look at adding some cache and store header for the sake of efficiency.

Oh cool, I never knew you could do that.
