[Resolved] Php + Css

bubblenut

Hi, I'm trying to have a CSS file build dynamically by php but I'm having problems with it in firefox. I would like to note that the php is NOT the problem. The outputed css is just as expected ie.

....
#edit1, #edit2, #edit3, #edit4, .... {
  backgroun-color:red;
}
....

style1.php

....
<?php
for($i=0;$i<$thenumber;$i++) {
echo(($i==0?'',',').'#edit'.$i);
}
?> {
  background-color:red;
}
...

The problem seems to be firefox not liking the href for a stylesheet link being .php rather than .css. It seems to just completely ignore it.
Is there another way to achieve the same goal with CSS or some way of making the .php file acceptable to firefox?

Thanks
Bubble

Firefox caches differently to IE. That might be the issue.

Alternatively, just put the CSS info in the page <head></head> bit?

you can alter your server settings to read *.css files as PHP.

This way you can have .css files parse PHP and output in a manner that firefox won't disagree with.

You can also do this with a .htaccess file in the dir that needs css files to parse PHP.

simple create a document with the following code and name it .htaccess:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .css
