PHP and CSS problem

[mstembri]

The following is an example of what's in a cs.css.phtml style sheet:

p {font-family:arial; font-size: <? echo $sp; ?>pt; color? echo $p; ?>}
p.sm {font-family:arial; font-size: <? echo $spsm; ?>pt; color? echo $psm; ?>}
p.bbig {font-family:arial; font-size: <? echo $spbig; ?>pt; color? echo $pbig; ?>}

There is a table with size and color values for the styles defined above. The color portions work fine, however the size attribute is not working as intended.

When I link to the stylesheet (or include the code directly on the page itself), any p class style is treated as the first p above. In other words, <p class="bbig"> is the same size as <p>, despite having different numerical values.

Someone mentioned before that they had successfully managed to integrate PHP with CSS. I'd like to know if I'm doing this correctly, or if I'm missing something important.

Thanks!

I doubt this has anything with PHP to do. If the style sheet code is generated with the correct values for p, p.sm and p.bbig, PHP is doing it's job. Check with the guys in #html on efnet. They know this stuff.

I belive the only thing you are missing is that if you redefine an html tag it will override the settings. So since you set p to seomthing it overrides p.anything

Could be, but that wouldn't explain why other .css sheets of mine work with p and p.somthing defined.

Problem solved.

I used AddType to make apache parse .css files with php.

That seemed to do it. The external, php equipped style sheet is working like charm now.

Thanks for your input!

I was just about to say try adding .css to the list of extensions that get parsed as php. like you figured it out on your own.
