generate file

[pppswing]

Hello,
I would like to générate a css file and I wonder how I could send it. cause generating html is ok for php. but I wonder what name you have my script, if I put a header, This is like making a pdf and sending it. I wonder how can I do that, I mean I know how to create my ccs or pdf, but I dont know how the browser ask for such files and What I should do to make it work.

Thanks

in html

<link rel="STYLESHEET" type="text/css" href="style.php">

in style php

header("Content-type: text/css");
// print your css stuff

should work

Do you think I can put the result in cache or not, because site.php will output different css files depending on user preference and default configuration of part of the web site for guest user.

Apart header(), ob_start(), ob_get_length(), ob_end_clean(), What are the functions I should know to deliver correctly output.

> What are the functions I should know

generally speaking, none.

<?php 
header (whatever);
?>
our output here

Do you know any tutorial to use correctly the header parameters when we sent output? content , location, ... something that explain this things quickly and nicely better that the RFC on http.

Thanks but, I've already read it.

What I want is to master the output of file like css of pdf.
For example, I wonder If a "Content-Disposition" is necessary when a browser request a css.
Cause this param is inline or attachement but with a css it's not inline not really attached. What should I put?
