Dynamic CSS problem

I have a site by where i want to pass a different variable into a css file depending upon the page.

Currently i am using:-

<?
$pgcolor="#000000";
?>
<link href="style.php?pgcolor=<? echo $pgcolor;?>" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">

and then within the css file style.php am using:-

<?php
header("Content-type: text/css");
$pgcol= $_GET['pgcolor'];
?>
body { color:<?=$pgcol?>; }
<?
?>

This isnt working for me.. Is there a way of doing it? Thanks

From what I know $_GET and $_POST require a form with one of the two methods. I have never done this myself but I do know some have used PHP style switchers etc to do stuff like this. I will see if I can find something. Iwould think it would be easier to store the info in a database and just pull it as required, but maybe not heh. My PHP knowledge is a working knowledge of it and not really a coder level.

This looks a very convoluted way of doing things.

How much css do you want to be page specific? Are you only talking about the page colour?

You can easily pass a GET variable without a form if you need to. It probably won't validate though, and I don't know if you could do it in XHTML or not.

It seems like you should be able to pass a POST variable too, but I can't think of a reason to do it. But both of these are assuming you are actually going to display the page.

On the other hand, I don't really see how you could pass a variable to a css sheet (or any undisplayed page) and I don't really see why you'd need to. It would be so easy just to put the info on separate little style sheets and switch the link.
