This seems like quite a complex solution for something simple that you were originally looking to achieve; variables in CSS.

Surely it would be easier to simply link to a master.php from your document, add in the ‘header text/css’ and then define some variables at the top of your document?

Alternatively of course there are now utilities such as SASS that make this idea a little redundant.

It no longer makes sense to struggle with this - Sass is there already. Write CSS with variables, functions, etc. (can also take existing CSS files and transform them), compile into static CSS files. Lovely.

21 lines of code (minus your comments) is all it took for dynamic css :)

Great information, thanks!

How can we replace .php file over .css file

Very Simple.

STEP1: This is your abc.php page

STEP2: This your zero.php (actually zero.css renamed with zero.php) page

#s1{
/*background:transparent url(../images/img_main.jpg) repeat scroll 0 0;*/
background:transparent url(../images/) repeat scroll 0 0;
border-bottom:1px solid #A0A0A0;
float:left;
height:208px;
position:relative;
width:1002px;
}

Madhu – each CSS file means another HTTP request, which takes time. I found the SSI method really quick, but it would be good to do some proper testing on the various alternatives (anyone?).

Hi,

Instead of using Dynamic css. We can maintain several css files which is very fast as compared to Dynamic css.

What about ur opinion regarding my statement.

After a bit if experimentation, I found out you can use Apache’s SSI to do this. See http://ecoconsulting.co.uk/training/css_includes.shtml
