Class file and including a CSS style

Radon3k

I have a class file which contains the classes for the frontend of the site. In some of the functions there are links to various different things. I tried adding a class attribute onto the link but it doesn't work. So I tried including/requiring the class file and that did nothing but spit the code out onto the page. Any idea what I can do to fix this? Thanks. 🙂

what do you meen by a class file? are you refering to a php class, or a css definition? show us some code or an example.

I'm not sure what code you want to see. It's a PHP class file that has the classes for the frontend of my site. Inside some of the functions there are links with normal anchor tags, <a href="" class="blah">Link</a>. The links aren't appearing as they should based on the class tht is called, they appear as if no class has been called and are just normal links. When I include the stylesheet at the top of the PHP file before any classes or functions it just spits out the entire CSS stylesheet code.

Have you studied the HTML you're receiving to see what if any problems it has? Maybe you're missing the stylesheet declaration?

Yes, I've studied the HTML. I'm calling the stylesheet through include()/require() and not through HTML. The class file is all PHP, no HTML so I can't call it through <link rel="" />.

A good start here would be clearing up the confusion between the 'class' file.

Is is a PHP file that generates CSS?
Is it a set of PHP classes, basically one per HTML element?

What code is being spit out into the broswer?

If it is CSS then that usually means that the code is being HTML encoded, OR you have not put the CSS inside 'style' tags. Also, if this is the case then it wont be available to format your links.

The stylesheet declaration (or the stylesheet itself, but that's ugly) needs to be in the HTML received by the client. It's of no use to PHP.
