Set style.css in config.php - not pulling through css


WAMFT1

Recommended Posts

I am trying to identify the style.css through the config file then bring into the project using the include command. I can get the project to tell me which css style is listed but it is not actually linking the css.  Is this possible or am i wasting my time. I want to do it this way so that I can change the style.css if required and it pick up the new details without the need to clear cache to implement changes. 

####### CONFIG.PHP

<?php
//EXTRA PARAMETERS
$sitename = "DEMO SITE";
$timezone = "Australia/Brisbane"; //Set for head office location
$stylecss = "../include/style.css";
$loginurl = ""; // default landing page for login
$logoimg = "";
$logoimg_params = "height='50px', width='100px'";
?>

####### INDEX.PHP

<?php
session_start();
include('include/config.php'); 
include('include/edb.php');
?>

<link href="<?php echo $stylecss?>" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

The way you describe this makes it sound like you're doing something more complicated than what it should be...
With a proper server, you can use a normal <link> to your CSS file and never need to clear a cache - if you do then that means it's not configured properly.

The question to answer first is whether your browser is receiving the correct <link>, and if so why it isn't loading the CSS. My guess would be the file path, as you need to remember that $stylecss is relative to the webpage URL and not to the config.php file path.
