So lately I've realized I want to make my sites as simple as possible in certain ways, one of them is having as few files as possible. I've looked into linking for CSS-PHP files using query strings, similar to how XenForo does it.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css.php?css=xenforo,form,public">
Now linking for a file is easy, but how would I add the CSS inside a PHP file without using the style tag? Can I just do something like the block below?
<?php
if(isset($_GET['form'])) {
?>
CSS HERE
<?php
}
?>
Add
<?php
header(Content-type: text/css");
?>
to the top of your php stylesheet.
eg:
<?php
header("Content-type: text/css");
?>
h1 {
color: blue;
}
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="test.php">
</head>
<body>
<h1>test</h1>
</body>
</html>
I have css stylesheet for all e-mail templates which is placed in the
/webroot/css/email-layout.css
I trying to display css inline in templates using the:
<style type="text/css">
<?php echo $this->Html->css(array('email-layout.css')); ?>
</style>
But after receiving the email is still displayed like link, not inline.
How can i solve it please?
Many thanks for advice.
It's because your style is an internet link (external file)? You need to output this css file as internal file when generating e-mail. For example:
<style>
<?php echo file_get_contents($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/css/email-layout.css'); ?>
</style>
Does it help?
<?php echo $this->Html->css(array('email-layout.css')); ?>
will output
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/email-layout.css" />
But if you want to get the file content, use file_get_contents function
<style type="text/css">
<?php echo file_get_contents(WWW_ROOT . 'css' . DS . 'email-layout.css'); ?>
</style>
WWW_ROOT : Full path to the webroot.
For my site I've been trying to get the background to WORK and to REPEAT, but there's something wrong I guess?
This is my code:
body
{
background-image:url('../images/backkground.png');
}
and then it's included in the index like this:
<?php include 'style.css'; ?>
Yeah I know, those php tags but that's placed before all the rest.
Does anyone have tips on what I'm doing wrong? (If I AM doing something wrong)
You don't use PHP to include a CSS file, you reference it in HTML:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/path/to/style.css" type="text/css">
Ideally you place this in the <head></head> tags at the top of the HTML page.
You're using PHP's include wrong. What you're doing is including the contents of the file server side.
You want to include the stylesheet in the HTML output:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
In PHP this would look like:
<?php
echo '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">';
?>
It could also be a problem with where the file is. It should be in the same directory as the calling page so if you're on site.com/index.php you should be able the see the css file at site.com/style.css.
As the others already told you, you are using the include in the server side, you should use something like
<?php
echo '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">';
?>
But if for any reason you need to use the server side include, you could try the following:
<style>
<?php include 'style.css'; ?>
</style>
Alright so I was creating a normal page in html and have linked a CSS page to it. Using
<link href="css/index.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
I was wondering if I wanted to use the same method of CSS on some PHP that is echoed out onto the page. Is there a way to do this or do I have to do it using style="" within the tag?
This is what I've tried...
#test{
width:75px;
background-color:#FFF;
display:inline-block;
}
<?php
echo 'Test'
?>
you have to put the echo values on html element with a class/id that has a css
try :
<p class="colored"><?php echo $str ?></p>
It can be achieved liked this.
<?php echo '<link href="css/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />'; ?>
or perhaps
<style>
.style {
width: <?php echo $myvalue; ?>;
}
</style>
From what I understand, you want to apply dynamically generated CSS styles.
For this, it is better to use style="" directly in the tag:
<a style="width: <?php echo $myValue ?>">Link</a>
If you want to use php within a CSS file, you can create a PHP file instead of your CSS file:
style.css.php
<?php
header("Content-type: text/css");
?>
.style {
width: <?php echo $myvalue; ?>;
}
Then you can link it from your html:
page.php
<link href="css/style.css.php" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
The MIME type of that PHP file will be text/css although the extension is .php
If you want the extension to be .css, you must .css files to the list of files to be interpreted by your server. If you are using Apache, you can enable mod_headers:
a2enmod headers
service apache2 restart
And create a .htaccess file with the following content:
<FilesMatch "\.css$">
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
Header set Content-type "text/css"
</FilesMatch>
If you do this, you don't need to set the header manually in the css file.
I have googled a lot but it seems that I am doing something wrong.
I want to do this:
<?php
include 'header.php';
include'CSS/main.css';
...
?>
However, my page prints the CSS code.
Note: I want to use PHP to include the CSS file, and not use
I also do you want to rename my CSS file to a PHP file as some website mentioned.
Any clues?
Many thanks.
You have to surround the CSS with a <style> tag:
<?php include 'header.php'; ?>
<style>
<?php include 'CSS/main.css'; ?>
</style>
...
PHP include works fine with .css ending too. In this way you can even use PHP in your CSS file. That can be really helpful to organize e.g. colors as variables.
You are including the CSS code as text in your PHP page. Why not just link it in the traditional fashion?
<link rel="stylesheet" href="CSS/main.css" type="text/css">
you can use:
<?php
$css = file_get_contents('CSS/main.css');
echo $css;
?>
and assuming that css file doesn't have it already, wrap the above in:
<style type="text/css">
...
</style>
To use "include" to include CSS, you have to tell PHP you're using CSS code. Add this to your header of your CSS file and make it main.php (or styles.css, or whatever):
header("Content-type: text/css; charset: UTF-8");
This might help with some user's connections, but it theoretically (read: I haven't tested it) adds processor overhead to your server and according to Steve Souder, because your computer can download multiple files at once, using include could be slower. If you have your CSS split into a dozen files, maybe it would be faster?

<?php
define('CSSPATH', 'template/css/'); //define css path
$cssItem = 'style.css'; //css item to display
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Including css</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo (CSSPATH . "$cssItem"); ?>" type="text/css">
</head>
<body>
...
...
</body>
</html>
YOUR CSS ITEM IS INCLUDED
This is an older post, however as the info is still relevant today an additional option may help others.
Define a constant for the file path per Stefan's answer. The
definition can be placed at the top of the PHP page itself, or within
an included/required external file such as config.php.
(http://php.net/manual/en/function.include.php)
Echo the constant in PHP tags, then add the filename directly after.
That's it!
Works for other linked files such as JavaScript as well.
<?php
define('CSS_PATH', 'template/css/'); //define CSS path
define('JS_PATH', 'template/js/'); //define JavaScript path
?>
<!-- Doctype should be declared, even in PHP file -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo CSS_PATH; ?>main.css">
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo JS_PATH; ?>main.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
If you want to import a CSS file like that, just give the file itself a .php extension and import it anyway. It will work just fine :)
You can also do the following:
Create a php file in includes folder, name it bootstrap_css.php for example
paste the css code files to file created above
<?php
$minCss=' <link href="bootstrap/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">';
$business = '<link href="bootstrap/css/modern-business.css" rel="stylesheet">';
echo $minCss;
echo $business;
?>
in the html header, include the css files as follows
<?php include_once 'includes/bootstrap_css.php'; ?>
You could do this
<?php include("Includes/styles.inc"); ?>
And then in this include file, have a link to the your css file(s).
I don't know why you would need this but to do this, you could edit your css file:-
<style type="text/css">
body{
...;
...;
}
</style>
You have just added here and saved it as main.php. You can continue with main.css but it is better as .php since it does not remain a css file after you do that edit
Then edit your HTML file like this. NOTE: Make the include statement inside the tag
<html>
<head>
<title>Sample</title>
<?php inculde('css/main.css');>
</head>
<body>
...
...
</body>
</html>
I solved a similar problem by enveloping all css instructions in a php echo and then saving it as a php file (ofcourse starting and ending the file with the php tags), and then included the php file.
This was a necessity as a redirect followed (header ("somefilename.php")) and no html code is allowed before a redirect.
Just put
echo "<link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='CSS/main.css'>";
inside the php code, then your style is incuded. Worked for me, I tried.
This is the format of what I have which works:
<head>
<title>Site Title</title>
<?php include 'header.php'; ?>
</head>
Inside my header.php I have:
<!doctype html>
<html class="no-js" lang="en">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/png" href="assets/images/icon/favicon.ico">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="assets/css/bootstrap.min.css">
The file name must be something other than a .CSS index. Write the following:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" />
The best way to do it is:
Step 1:
Rename your main.css to main.php
Step 2: in your main.php add
<style> ... </style>
Step 3: include it as usual
<?php include 'main.php'; ?>
That is how i did it, and it works smoothly..
_trace its directory, I guess
echo css('lib/datatables_rqs/jquery.dataTables.css');
