Tenaciousmug Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Okay the reason I'm doing it this way is because I work locally and then transfer them to the production site. For some reason, this isn't working even though when I view the page source, it has the right URL, but when it's clicked it goes to a blank page, but when I copy and paste, it goes to the right page. Anywho, this is what I'm trying: <?php $homeURL = 'localhost:90/Elvonica'; ?> <!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> <title>Elvonica</title> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo $homeURL; ?>/template/css/skySpirit.css" /> I didn't plug in the rest to ignore it since it's not part of the problem. It's printing: localhost:90/Elvonica/template/css/skySpirit.css, but when it's clicked, goes to blank page. When it is copied and pasted, it goes to the right page. I have a feeling you can't include PHP inside a link rel or any sort of that header information. If anyone could please help me how to do this, I would appreciate it. FYI: I did have just template/css/skySpirit.css and it worked until I go into a another directory like forums/index.php. Then it tries to go localhost:90/Elvonica/forums/template/css/skySpirit.css and it's not in there obviously. Thank you for anything that you can offer! I know how to do the includes with the dirname(__FILE__).

Psycho Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 There is no problem with using PHP to dynamically set ANY values in the HTML code - even the href for the style sheet. So, not sure what your problem is, but you don't need to set the value that way. As you found, when using "template/css/skySpirit.css" it will not find the style sheet with opening pages in sub folders. There is a very simple solution. Just put a slash at the beginning of the path and that will search from the root of the site rather than the root fo the current page location. <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/template/css/skySpirit.css" /> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/257797-css-not-loading-from-external-stylesheet/#findComment-1321318 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenaciousmug Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 Yeah if I put the slash infront of it, it shows this: http://localhost:90/template/css/skySpirit.css It doesn't include my /Elvonica folder that I have the whole solution in. I don't know how to fix that. I know it would probably work on the public server, but not my localhost machine since I have to put the whole project in a solution.
