CSS + PHP for easy COLORS changing ...

you could make 3 different css files and make a php script to get the css you need.

The MIME type is the content type presented to the web user; if you did that, the MIME type returned would be that of PHP source code.

Try renaming the .css file .php, and putting this at the top of it:

<?php
header('Content-type: text/css');
?>

That should do the trick.

Rod,  I had to do something similar (I think) with alternating row colors.  I just created two CSS rules.

External CSS file has this...

.rowcolor1 {background-color: #F1F1F1;}
.rowcolor2 {background-cloro: #CCCCCC;}

Then I used PHP to do the work for me.

$rowcolor1 = "rowcolor1";
$rowcolor2 = "rowcolor2";

$row_count =0;

$query ....
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {

  $row_color = ($row_count  % 2) ? $rowcolor1 : $rowcolor2;
  
  echo '<tr class="'.$row_color.'">';
  .....
  $row_count++;

}

Not really sure if this is what your trying to do with PHP and CSS.

Paul: is this how you achieved the colors for the post icons?  Or did you manually adjust the colors for each "corner"?

good stuff!
