if statement help

[MDanz]

i have a div called layer1, which is either visible or hidden depending on some javascript.  In php how do i do...

 

if (div layer1 is visible) {} else {}

 

or

 

if (div layer1 is not hidden) {} else {}

 

 

this is the css code when it is hidden, i can't have it if(div layer1 is hidden) because that would mess up my code.

 

#layer1 {
display:none; 
      position:fixed;
  color:#FFFFFF; 
  width: 400px;
      border: 1px solid #FBB917; 
      background-color: black; 
      padding: 5px;
   
   

}

You can only check to see if it's hidden in JavaScript. It isn't possible with PHP.

What exactly is it that you want to do? Set the class in the html code instead would be my suggestion and then toggle it using javascript if that is what you want to do.

You can't. Php can only be used in PHP files. What you could do is not make a separate style sheet, but <style> tags in a php file and then it could be changed by a variable.

 

But I don't know why you're even looking at PHP. What you need is to manipulate styles of objects. That's what JavaScript does best and it's very simple to do so.

That's not entirely true. You CAN use PHP in CSS as you generate it (meaning you don't have a static .css file) but it does not sound like that is what you want to do in this case. I suppose all you want to do is toggle the display depending on what the user does? Then you should simply use javascript.
