CodingForums.com - View Single Post - my css file not picking up php variables??

AndrewGSW · 01-18-2013, 07:42 PM

I understand it is not advisable but isn't it possible?

Code:

HTML file:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="a_style.css.php">

a_style.css.php file:
<?php
header("Content-type: text/css; charset=utf-8");
//your php + css code goes here
?>

We have to use PHP to append a query variable to the end of the href

PHP Code:


			
href="a_style.css.php?version=<?php echo $some_number ?>">

otherwise it will use the version in the browsers' cache.

But why bother? That's what classes, ids, etc., are for??
