I have one css file(reset.css) in my main page say index.php.
Inside index.php, I am loading another php page(secondary.php). Now the css in reset.css is not getting applied on secondary.php (Now sure why this is happening.)
I have two Questions here :
1.) Why secondry.php is not taking the reset.css styles.
2.) To resolve the issue, Is it OK for me to place another but similar reset.css file in secondary.php ?
Any help will be highly useful.
Code for Including secondary.php
$("#tab2_load").load('seconday.php');
First, add an id to your style tags like so:
<link id="someID" rel="stylesheet" href="refresh.css" />
Next, in Javascript add the following function:
function reloadStyle(s){
$('#someID').attr('href',s);
}
Now after this line $("#tab2_load").load('seconday.php'); call the function reloadStyle()
reloadStyle( 'refresh.css?v='+Math.random(0,100) );

I'm recently doing a website for a school project. In order to organize my work, I create a tree folder that keeps all the work organized. It is similar like this:
Back-Office
Pages
Home
home_test1.php
home_test2.php
home_test3.php
Login
Folder_Login
login.php
logout.php
Resources
CSS
style_home.css
style_navbar.css
style_footer.css
JS
script_home.css
script_navbar.css
Sections
navbar.php
footer.php
After all, with the require() method available in PHP, I want to call the "navbar.php" file to the "home_test1.php", "home_test2.php" and "home_test3.php", but the CSS style that is connected with the file "navbar.php" ("style_navbar.php"), doesn't display.
I've tried to change the path of the CSS style in the file "navbar.php" when I require() to the other file ("home_test1.php") and the CSS style shows up, but wont display in other file with a different path. How can I make this work dynamically? Sorry for long post and bad English grammar.
Thank you in advance.
You need to set your css and js files with absolute path instead of relative path
$dir = realpath($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]);
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $dir.'/resources/css/style_home.css'; ?>" >
Without physically seeing you code it is quite hard to debug however there is an "obvious" answer that I'll suggest as a starting point.
The important thing to remember is that PHP and HTML are processed in completely different places. PHP executes on the server and should be used to build a full HTML "document" which it gives to the client/browser. The client/browser then reads the document provided and renders it according to HTML standards.
Calling require() will tell PHP to get the file and slot its contents directly where it was called and as it is a CSS file it will need to sit within the style tags. With a lot of modern browsers, if you use require on a file outside of the html tags, the content will be dumped at the top of the screen or simply ignored due to invalid syntax.
Alternatively if you would like to simply use tell the browser to include the CSS file, you could use the good old method of using <link rel="stylesheet" href="/path/to/file">. It's good to know when and when not to use PHP.
PS: You have .css files in your JS directory.
In PHP, there is a global variable containing various details related to the server. It's called $_SERVER. It contains also the root:-
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']
<?php
$path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $path.= '/Resources/CSS/style_navbar.css';?>" />
?>
I have a stylesheet link that looks like below:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/example/get_page.php?location=bla.css" id="main_ss" />
get_page.php just gets a URL using file_get_contents():
if (isset($_GET['location'])) {
echo file_get_contents('/example/styles/' . $_GET['location']);
}
I can see that the stylesheet file is being fetched properly (for example the text of the file is showing in firebug when I expend the link tag) but for some reason it is ignored by the browser. If I just fetch the CSS file directly of course everything works.
The code can be seen here: www.specman-verification.com/example/bla.html
Any leads? I'm at loss here.
Add the Content-type header like this (do this before you output anything):
header("Content-type: text/css");
Your code is just trying to load the script get_page.php. To load the CSS file you need:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/example/bla.css" />
(or similar depending on the actual path to your CSS file). In other words the href attribute needs to specify the path to your spreadsheet file, not the HTML page file.
You need to do it the right way. I understand what you're doing here. You need a good mechanism to dynamically load external CSS and have the result display normal html in the browser output.
Follow the instructions on this url: http://www.warpconduit.net/2009/05/12/dynamically-load-css-and-js-files-using-php/
This will at least get you to have a mechanism to load external css file with php dynamically. You're definitely missing steps in your code.
I've been reading on this quite some time...and i'm puzzled -
Can you help on what is the difference between:
Yii::app()->clientScript->registerCssFile(Yii::app()->baseUrl.'/css/some-file.css');
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo Yii::app()->request->baseUrl; ?>/css/some-file.css
Is it a performance issue, or just different syntax?
Thanks,
Danny
registerCssFile always registers the file between the <head> tags, even if you call it somewhere in a view.
This is helpful if you care about HTML validation (a <link> in <body> is invalid), but still want to include a CSS file in a view.
registerCssFile actually aids performance, because the CSS is registered only when you want it (and need it).
The way you are using it, it is identical. To verify this, check the source of the page (in your browser) and check the statement that Yii::app()->clientScript->registerCssFile creates.
However, clientScript lets you control the position of the script in the HTML file. Check out: http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/1.1/CClientScript#registerScriptFile-detail and look for POS_HEAD, POS_BEGIN, POS_END.
What is probably more important is this: In the MVC philosophy, you want to have everything related to HTML-output in your view-file. Yii::app()->clientScript lets you add CSS and JS files from within your view files. And that is where you want it.
I'm working out a process to save actions that occur from jquery in my view in cakephp.. I figure an easy way to load the saved values, such as the width and height for a DIV, would be to have cakephp echo a variable as their width / height in the css file, much the same way it would do this in the view file.. I guess I'm not sure exactly where to look for info on this, if its in the cakephp cookbook I guess I'm missing it as I don't see how to do it in there.. any advice is appreciated.
This is actually pretty easy (and powerful), and can be done without the aid of CakePHP.
First, make a new file in your webroot called css.php. At the top of that file put the following:
<?php header("Content-Type: text/css"); ?>
Now, link to this file in the head of your layout, just as you would a normal CSS file.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/path/css.php" type="text/css" />
And there you have it, a dynamic CSS file. You can pass information to it like so:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/path/css.php?c=red&fw=700" type="text/css" />
CLARIFICATION: To access the variables mentioned above, you would use the $_GET variable in the CSS file. Take a look at the link tag above. To access those variables in the css file, you would do something like this:
.class {color:<?php echo $_GET['c']; ?>;font-weight:<?php echo $_GET['fw']; ?>;}
UPDATE: After viewing the link you posted about the CakePHP HTML Helper, I realized that there is a better way to do this if you intend to pass a lot of variables to the css file.
Create a new model and controller called DynamicStyle and DynamicStylesController (or something similar). Then, make a new layout file called css.ctp that all of this controller's views will use. Declare the content-type header statement in that layout file.
The last step would be to link to a method in that controller from the head of your standard layout header.
Now you could make a database table of css rules and use those with the HTML helper in the css view.
I just realized CakePHP has something for this as well:
http://book.cakephp.org/view/1440/style
So this may come in handy for anyone who comes across this in the future
I'm new to PHP and I'm having a problem when trying to link my CSS files using include.
Basically I need my files to link back to a certain directory no matter how far down the file is. I have tried using
<?php
include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/sysprogs/required/header.html';
?>
But header.html contains the links to my css files so the directory it ends up looking for the css files in is
http://localhost/SysProgs/software/CSS/style.css
instead of where I want it to go to which is
http://localhost/SysProgs/required/CSS/style.css
I hope that made sense and I hope you can help me
Thankyou for all your help everyone!
I would definitely not use <base>. I've run into many problems with this before. If you use <base>, ALL of your links will become relative to that base value.
Instead, I would recommend setting PHP constants for common directories. For example:
PHP Code:
<?php
define('CSS_DIR', '/SysProgs/required/CSS/');
?>
HTML Code:
<link href="<?php echo CSS_DIR ?>style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
One Idea
Use the full URL in header.html. This will be unambiguous and robust.
<head>
<link href="/FULL_BASE_URL/style/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
Another Idea
Use the <base> header tag. This allows you to specify a base URL for links, including CSS, and may require the least work in the short term (see note below).
<head>
<base href="FULL_BASE_URL" />
<link href="style/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>

Note: As is noted in the comments below base may ultimately cause more confusion than it is worth.
I like to define both an absolute path and a webroot in a central place in your application:
<?php
define("APP_WEBROOT", "/myapp");
define("APP_ROOTDIR", "/home/www/example.com/htdocs/myapp");
?>
you can then "absolutize" the correct links like so:
<?php echo APP_WEBROOT; ?>/software/CSS/style.css
I prefer this
over <base> because that tag creates confusion and makes code harder to maintain in the long run
over using absolute paths /software/CSS/style.css because those make you unable to install your application in a subdirectory of your choice: You will always be bound to the root directory.
I run into this problem a lot when designing sites. When I have custom CMS, I use the following:
$basedir = "root_directory/";
$basedirPHP = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].$basedir;
$basedirHTML = "http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$basedir;
I define $basedir so I can move the site to different subdirectories in the server without any effort. The $basedirPHP and $basedirHTML are so I can call on files either with php, or like you mentioned, when linking CSS, JS, etc.
If you're on wordpress, just use the good ol' bloginfo('template_directory'); to do the same in template files.
The first thing for you to understand, is your question has nothing PHP related. It is as simple as just filenames in your HTML questuon. Without PHP it will remain the same. Just use absolute path to your CSS file
And another thing to think of: consider to accept some questions.
