Edit CSS file in PHP

[Bman900]

Basicly I have an admin panel where I want to edit certain colors in a .css file. Can I include PHP in the .css to make this work?

[hchsk]

do it the opposite way, use php to modify element.styles.thestyleyouwanttochange

 

 

a quick google of "php how to change css style" would pull up endless tutorials, explanations

hchsk, PHP can do that? Isn't that JavaScript?

 

Well you can have PHP open the CSS file and dump the value into a textarea for you to edit.

yeahhhhh. . . youre right ken, i keep answering too quickly and giving stupid answers, sorry bman.

 

you can definitely include multiple style sheets, and use php to switch the sheet whenever you want, but that might not be exactly what you're asking.

 

kens answer is clever, then use stristr or strstr substr and str_replace to do what you need to do, and fwrite over the file

Well I want to make it simple for the user. Basically this is what I want to do:

 

.css file

 

#header {

  color:          #003399;

  background:      #8CA8E6;

}

 

And then my admin panel would have:

 

Backround: ___________ SUBMIT

 

Can this be done in .css?

 

<?php $backround = "#8CA8E6"; ?>

 

#header {

  color:          #003399;

  background:      <?php echo"$backround"; ?>;

}
