dynamic CSS using php

[vinny199]

hi,

I am trying to do the following.
I'm doing a website where the user should be able to chose his font size, colo, type and background color.

I have managed to to this basically by storing color codes in a table. the only problem is that I can make this work using html.

For instance:

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="<?php echo $row_rsfont['color']; ?>">

That is fine

but not using CSS.

How can I get a my CSS to accept values from a table?
is it possible at all?
CSS files do not accept any php imbedded in the file, so is there a way around that?

It would be great if you could advise.

thanks,

vinny

Just make the css file .php, and include it in the head of your page.

<?php
echo "<style type='text/css'>";
echo "body {font-family: $row_rsfont['font']; font-size: $row_rsfont['size']; color: $row_rsfont['color']}";
echo "</style>";
?>

Like that except instead of using the HTML css link, use php and include it.

Thanks, that kind of worked.

For some reason it only started working when I gave $values for CSS texr:

<?php $body= "body {font-family:" ?>
<?php $size= "font-size:" ?>
<?php $color= "color:" ?>
<?php $background= "background-color: " ?>
<?php echo "<style type='text/css'>"; ?>
<?php echo $body; echo $row_rscss['font']; ?>;
<?php echo $size; echo $row_rscss['fontsize']; ?>;
<?php echo $color; echo $row_rscss['color']; ?>;
<?php echo $background; echo $row_rscss['background']; ?> }";
</style>

That works,

thanks for that.
