PHP In CSS

webmasternovis

Hi guys,

Just wondering if its possible to intregate PHP with CSS?

Like if you had the following:

.name
{
border-color:#000000;
}

Would it be possible to make the border colour the same as what is in a database?

Cheers,
Mike🙂

Hi Mike

I can see no reason why your CSS page can not be created with php and then populated from the data base.

It would need to look something like this:

$BorderCol = "#000000";

echo ".name { border-color:$BorderCol; }";

Just tested this and it works fine - so you can store your styles in the database and generate them on the fly from user input...

Have fun...

n.b your style page would need to be CSSyourstylepage.php rather than the normal .css. This would have to be declared in your HTML likewise.

im using PHP to Select my css. Seems simple, but took me a little to think of it.

Hi Mike

I use a PHP routine, based on an article by Tim Perdue (http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/tim20000821.php3), to check out the client platform and browser before adjusting font sizes to suit the defaults on those client machines. Sounds complicated but it's actually very basic - I'm sure an expert could improve on it a great deal, but I'm just a greenhorn.

Tim's article is based on PHP3, so I changed it to conform to PHP4, which also has the added bonus of making it a hell of a lot shorter.

Anywayz, the PHP code checks out the client machine and then includes the appropriate style details in the HTML using the <style> tags - so I have two includes: 1. check_client.inc; 2. stylesheet.inc. The reason for having two as opposed to one is that I can use check_client.inc for any website, but I write stylesheet.inc appropriate to a particular website. I still have only one file to adjust when I want to alter the CSS.

Best o luck

That's a very good point you have rasied there an I would agree that if your going to this trouble its worth doing some browser checking as well.

Once you have the the general functions in place you can then use this over and over again.

Me thinks I will have to do some research on this my self.
