PHP + CSS issue

Dec 17.2005

How would I put a php variable in a css file for the path of an image? like this? As it doesnt seem to work. Any ideas?

body {
font:0.75em/1.5 “Trebuchet MS”, Arial, Verdana, helvetica, sans-serif;
background: #E1E6E2 url(<?php echo $path ?>/images/bg_body.gif) repeat-y top center;
}

@chazzyDec 17.2005 — could you show what you have before this code as I have no idea where you're defining $path...

@ShrineDesignsDec 17.2005 — save the css file to a php file instead and add this to the top of the document&lt;?php
header("Content-Type; text/css");
?&gt;of course an easier method would be to use a "root" relative or absolute path, thus, no need for php

Use a full http path that you can call up directly from the location bar of a browser. Example:[code=html]http://example.com/stylesheets/mystyles.css[/code]

[B]Point two:[/B] and no one has mentioned this so far... if you use a relative path in a stylesheet that path is relative to the stylesheet and not the html document.

@solidaritiauthorDec 17.2005 — Firstly I had a php include 'config.php'; statement in there config.php is where I created the $path variable but then I took that out as it is a bit stupid. Cos it wouldnt work in a css sheet, would it.

@solidaritiauthorDec 17.2005 — I've tried this, but for some reason it doesnt work? There are no errors it just doesnt use the stylesheet.

Do I have to change something in this line, calling the stylesheet?
[code=php]
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?=$path?>/assets/css/default.php" media="screen,projection" type="text/css" />[/code]

@solidaritiauthorDec 17.2005 — Scrap that last question I searched on the tinternet for an answer and came across this http://www.barelyfitz.com/projects/csscolor/ explaining it: My issue was that I didnt have the <?php ?> tags on the same line. Duhh.

Thank you every one!!!!
