MYSQL Field with PHP variable in it.

I have a mysql field that I want to store a php variable in and then retrieve it.

 

Example:

Color table has the field  named colorBackground with the value of #FF0000

CSS table has the field named cssBackground with the value of .background { background-color: #444444; }

 

What I want to do is make Color/colorBackground a variable {{$backgroundcolor = rsColor['colorBackground']

 

Then I want to change the CSS/cssBackground value to .background { background-color:$backgroundcolor; }

 

Creating the $backgroundcolor works fine. I'm just not sure how to put the $backgroundcolor in my CSS/cssBackground field.

You "could" parse your CSS file through PHP.  That being said, you shouldn't as it ultimately leads to a troubleshooting nightmare.

 

One option is just to store a CSS class name in your DB, and have PHP write that class when you are rendering your HTML.  You of course would need CSS to assign the proper color to the given class.

 

If you really want any possible color, I would just include a bit of CSS in your HTML file.

<style type='text/css'>
       .background { background-color:<?php echo($backgroundcolor);?>; }
</style>
