I've created an CSS external style sheet for a webpage of my website. I have uploaded it to the server and have used the following code in my PHP file to load the webpage. However, the webpage just loads as if it ignores the style sheet. Here's the code in the PHP file that I have used so I just uploaded the HTML tags here. Any help would be a great help. Thanks.
<html>
<head>
<link rel="styleshhet" type="text/css" href="/webspace/httpdocs/new_select3_style_sheet.css">
<script>function goBack() {window.history.back()}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="main">
</div>
</body>
</html>
<link rel="styleshhet" type="text/css" href="/webspace/httpdocs/new_select3_style_sheet.css">
goes to:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="new_select3_style_sheet.css">
First you had a typo -> stylesheet not stylshhet second all paths run from above httpdocs in public facing HTML (where your site will be) so you need to remove everything above that! e.g.
/webspace/httpdocs/new_select3_style_sheet.css
If your domain was example.com then /webspace/httpdocs/ = example.com/ when building URLs

I am new to css & bootsrap. I developed a small website,that has six pages, I separated header and footer in two different php files in order to make life easy. Then I call header & footer in the top and bottom of each page respectively. Based on my requirement I customize some elements design (override bootsrap design) in a separate css file called "custom.css". each time when I bring changes in that file I have to close and re open the text editor in order to see the changes. First I thought it was be due to text editor so I changed my text editor from "Sublime Text to Php Storm";however, the issue has not yet been solved.
below are code snippets of my project:
header.php
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>My Website</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<!-- Bootstrap -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/bootstrap.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/custom.css">
<script src="js/respond.js"></script>
</head>
footer.php
<!-- Footer -->
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.1.slim.min.js"

</body>
</html>
I call the above files into my pages as below:
<? include ("header.php")?>
<body>
<div class="container">
.
.
.
.
</div> <!-- end container -->
<?include ("footer.php");?>
But if I do not separate header and footer, and write them in one page I can see changes immediately, I don't have to close and re open my text editor in order to see changes.
Could you please help me
As determined in the comments, it's a problem with your browser cache.
You either
need to refresh the page with CTRL+F5 (but this depends on your OS and browser) or
you instruct your local server to forbid browser caching in your development environment (don't do this on production!).
To prevent browser caching, instruct your webserver to send the appropriate headers. There is a nice answer here: How to control web page caching, across all browsers?
You'll need to know how to configure your webserver - I don't know OpenServer.
Note that it is not enough to add the headers in your PHP script because you need the headers to be sent with the static CSS file.
Below code works perfectly
<?php include_once('header.php');?>
<body>

some code
<?php include_once('footer.php');?>
I recently asked a question about my php includes and received the answer. Now that the include accesses the correct file, my html/css/javascript web pages show some hope. The only issue is that the php includes of the pages have this look:
Instead of this:
Is there a way for the php includes to access the css files? My current code for one page that contains the includes is:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="main.js"></script>
<title> Water Polo, The Best Sport</title>
</head>
<body>
<div class="wrapper">
<?php
include'../includes/header.php';
?>
<?php
include'../includes/navbar.php';
?>
<div class= "content">
</div>
<?php
include'../includes/footer.php';
?>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Header.php
<?php echo'<div class ="header">
<h1>The Best Sport</h1>
<h1 class="sitetitle">AllWaterPolo</h1>
<img src ="img/51wmckj8p1l__sx300__1.png" class="wpball" alt="Water Polo Ball" />
<h2 class="homeScreenLink"> Water Polo!</h2></div>';>
To develop the website I am currently using MAMP and running the code which is in a folder by putting it in htdocs.
I took the header out of the php include and made the css file work with the document, but one thing remains the same. The code that I included in the document via php does not take on the effects of the css document, but the header, which now is out of the include and is written write in the document works. Is there a way to allow the code which has been included via php to access the working css file? If it would facilitate the answering process, I'll post any necessary pictures. Just comment below.
You have correctly identified the problem, that the HTML cannot find the CSS. That is directly because of this tag:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css" type="text/css" />
Specifically, this part of the tag:
href="styles.css"
You have told your code to look for the styles.css file in the same directory as the index.php file. Is that correct?
Usually, the web site structure looks like this:
public_html
- css
- js
- includes
- img
Your website seems to be structured like this:
includes
public_html
Imagine yourself inside the index.php file. All files that are INCLUDEd become part of index.php, as if they were there originally. So, you are expecting to find the CSS file here (as per your <link rel="stylesheet" tag):
public_html/style.css
If they are really inside a CSS folder, then perhaps this will fix it:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/styles.css" type="text/css" />
Update:
No need to echo out your HTML in PHP, you can literally just do this:
header.php
<div class ="header">
<h1>The Best Sport</h1>
<h1 class="sitetitle">AllWaterPolo</h1>
<img src ="img/51wmckj8p1l__sx300__1.png" class="wpball" alt="Water Polo Ball" />
<h2 class="homeScreenLink"> Water Polo!</h2>
</div>
If the other include files are similar, then it appears your rendered file will all be HTML. Therefore, the next step is: where is your style sheet? Try this. In the address bar of your browser, type:
localhost/styles.css
And see if your stylesheet appears. If not, try this:
localhost/css/styles.css
If the second one works, then change this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css" type="text/css" />
to this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/styles.css" type="text/css" />
Note: I might not have your path structure correct. Amend as required.
Short answer = no.
You may want to look into using SASS. Besides minifying the css files, you can also set it up so the main (in your case styles.css) pull from several SASS files. For example you could have the following SASS files: main.scss, header.scss, navbar.scss, & footer.scss. If your IDE supports SASS, when you save any one of these files it can automatically compile all four into your styles.css file. Then all you need is to reference that one file and you are set.

I wonder whether anyone could help me resolve some problems I'm having in creating a website using HTML, CSS...and PHP for the first time. (My previous attempts at web design were only in HTML and CSS).
The problem at present is that my home-page (index.php) somehow isn't 'seeing' my stylesheet.css.
The code for the index.php is basically as follows :
<?php
$page_title='Home';
[php-code here, to call in include1.php.....Please see below for details]
?>
<div class="copy">
[page content here, in html]
</div>
<?php
[php-code here, to call in include2.php.....Please see below for details]
?>
My folder structure is :
web
css
stylesheet.css
images
logo.png
includes
include1.php
include2.php
index.php
In attempting to call in include1.php (containing doc type declaration, and Head section including reference to stylesheet.css), I've tried the following (inserted between <?php and ?>, as shown above), all without success :
$pathtoinclude1 = $_SERVER]'DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
$pathtoinclude1 .= "/includes/include1.php";
include_once($pathtoinclude1);
and
include('/includes/include1.php')
In include1.php, my reference to the stylesheet.css is :
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/stylesheet.css" media="Screen" type="text/css"/>
When I preview the home-page, all I get is the text in default font (Times New Roman?). None of the styling via CSS is being applied.
Can anyone give me some pointers as to what I'm doing wrong?
If that first answer doesn't work, try replacing
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/stylesheet.css" media="Screen" type="text/css">
with <?php include 'style.php'?>
And then in the style.php file include the <style> tags and then add the css regularly.
Since you say you are using php for the first time, make sure you have the correct html declaration.
although you have already worked with html,css just a reminder:
<?php
$page_title='Home';
[php-code here, to call in include1.php.....Please see below for details]
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<!-- MAKE SURE YOU'RE INCLUDING THE
EXTERNAL CSS FILE HERE BUT NOT TO INCLUDE YOUR PHP INCLUDES!
WHICH ACCORDING TO YOUR FILE STRUCTURE SHOULD BE -->
<link rel="stylesheet"
href="../css/stylesheet.css"
media="Screen"
type="text/css"/>
</head>
<body>
<div class="copy">
[page content here, in html]
</div>
<?php
[php-code here, to call in include2.php.....Please see below for details]
?>
</body>
</html>
When you include() the file from index.php, the path looks like:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/stylesheet.css" media="Screen" type="text/css"/>
This path is going one directory back from index.php which is not a valid path. Your path in include1.php should look like this when you include it in index.php:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/stylesheet.css" media="Screen" type="text/css">
Also, if CSS includes properly but styles still do not show up, try removing browser cache.
Try this. It worked for me
Let's assume that you CSS file is named 'css.css'
And it is located in the same directory with you home page.
Just add this at the head tag:
Head
Style
<?php include('css.css') ?>
style
head
Don't forget to add corresponding tags
I am using the slim framework to create a website and have views and twig in my project. In my pages, I use php to help facilitate what html is rendered in my webpage. An example is below
<html>
<head>
<title>I ain't afraid of no bugs!</title>
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="../_images/_logos/bug-hunter-icon.ico" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../_css/home.css">
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"> </script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="_javascript/login.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="_javascript/sign_up.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<?php require 'header_login.php' ?> //problem
<!--div banner, content-area, footer -->
</body>
</html>
and then I render this page by
$app->render('home.php');
However, the html in header_login.php is not loaded onto the page. Instead when I inspect the element, the page looks like
What I do not understand is why the code I am linking to is not being displayed there. The code being imported is a simple navigation bar. But even if I put echo "lala" on the pages, nothing php is displayed.
Read Twig documentation:
http://twig.sensiolabs.org/doc/tags/include.html
{% include 'header_login.php' %}
Or see SlimPHP - PHP view
https://github.com/slimphp/PHP-View
You can see the difference with the Twig View
https://github.com/slimphp/Twig-View
If the header_login.php file is in the same directory as home.php, you should be able to change it to
<?php require __DIR__ . '/header_login.php' ?>
This tells PHP to load it from the same directory as the current file, rather than the directory of the script being executed.
As the question suggests I have an index.php file with html in it and when I try to style it using external or internal css, it doesn't work. But inline css works. By the way I am using xampp on win7 to test the website. And the file structure looks like this c:/xampp/htdocs/test/index.php
Relevant html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width>
<!--<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">-->
<!--This css file contains the css shown below as internal css-->
<style>
body{
background-color: blue;
color: white;
}
.header{
color: white;
}
</style>
<?php
function somefuntion(){
/*I will be adding this function later once the html skeleton
is done.
This function will be calculating some numbers based on the
current date and echoing it.*/
}
?>
</head>
<body>
<section class="header">
<p>Spring</p>
</section>
<section class="body">
<p>Hello world</p>
</section>
</body>
</html>
Can someone also explain why internal css is not working?
Solution found by hRdCoder: missing " mark in the content attribute of meta tag.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css"></link>
Only things to check for are that you add the closing tag and that the style.css file is in the same directory as your index.php.
Edit:
I just noticed that in your that you're missing the last set of quotation marks (") in the content attribute. Could that be affecting the rest of the page?
Also make sure you don't include the <style></style> tags in your external css file
Do one thing. open css file through xampp or wampp.. like
open browser -> search localhost/your folder and then open css or js file ,now copy that address and paste in href or src. hope this will help
the answer could be as simple as adding a class or id to the html tag like lets say there is a button tag like this..
<button>open</button>
and the code you wrote on external css is not working but inline does cuz there might be a class or id or the selector itself imposing the code without you knowing it so that's why it might not be working .That's why try adding a class or id to it like this..
<button class="btn">open</button>
<style>
.btn {
background-color:red;
}
</style>
it might just work..
there is something wrong with your path when linking your external css
is your index.php is in the same folder as your style.css?
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
try to put it in a separate folder named css
then link it as
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/style.css">
you can also use firebug plugins for firefox or firebug lite plugin for chrome to check the errors
