Nub question - dynamically link header files

[kade119]

So say i have this:

 

<link rel="stylesheet" media="all" type="text/css" href="_css/styles.css" />

 

now the file that is linking to that is 3 directories deep, besides using a rel or absolute link, could i define the path by using something like this

 

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php require($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/_css/portfolio-styles.css"); ?>" type="text/css" />

 

but this is actually opening the CSS in the header

 

thanks for any explanation on how to do this

It's the require() that is making the css appear directly in your html.  Does it work if you just use "/_css/portfolio-styles.css" as the href?  No PHP code should be needed there, just HTML
