AshleyByrom Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Okay well I made the mistake of making a website and then deciding I want skins. Here is how it goes... I am looking for the easiest way possible to crete a simple skins script that directs a user to use a different style sheet depending on their preference. I would create a column in my users table in my database, call it skin and entries can be pink, blue, whatever... then those entries would direct to pink.css, blue.css etc. Thanks!

dadamssg Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 you would do something like this <?php //query they database to find out their skin choice //then set that to a variable to like $skin ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <title>Whatever | Whatever</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo $skin; ?>" /> you would need to have different skins already done up so the possibilities would be like...blue.css, pink.css, green.css Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadamssg Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 oh and you would probably want to make $skin a session variable $_SESSION['skin'] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshleyByrom Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 Thanks for backing it up. I feared I would have to do that. I now have to go back and user the spacer technique changing all images to backgrounds... should be fun... thanks anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
