doddsey_65 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 you cant include php code in a css file. You could use the php in a html document and create inline styling: <style type="text/css"> body { background-color: <?php echo $color; ?>; } </style> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFMaBiSmAd Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 You can either configure your server to parse .css files as php code (you need to be careful not to let users/hackers upload .css files that contain their php code) or you can use a .php file as the external css file and output a Content-type: text/css header at the start of the php code in the file.
