Dynamically change css in php?

Question

I have a little question. Can I dynamically change (with php) content of the css style in this way?

<?php
               header("Content-type: text/css; charset: UTF-8");

               $color = "red;";

               ?>

               header      {

                           color:<?php print $color; ?>

                           }    

?>

Yes, but its not found. Problem is, that when use the file without <style> and <style> tags, i cant use the contextual help for css. — user2579395

You need to rename your style file to end in .php or use .htdocs to parse .css files as PHP. As for cache, you just need to set that within headers. — Dave Chen

Anyway this approach is sooo 2006 - check Less / SCSS / stylus. — moonwave99

Sure it's possible, why not give a try?

Linking the php css in HTML:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/name-of-file.css.php">

and in your css.php file you put your code, but without the

<style type="text/css">

so it should look like this

 <?php
           header("Content-type: text/css; charset: UTF-8");
           $color = "red;";
           ?>

           header      {

                       color:<?php print $color; ?>

                       }

Yes, I know, but if you do not use the <style> tags, contextual help not found :/

I can't see a problem there, type your PHP code in it and have fun. Did you even try it?.. I still don't get your problem.

It is better you use your javascript to change the style between php tags.

for example:

if($response){

echo "<script>
    $('#matter_table').css('display', 'block');
</script>";
} else{

echo "<script>
    $('#matter_table').css('display', 'none');
</script>";
}

You should try this

<?php
echo<<_CSS
<style>
body{
color:red;
}
</style>
_CSS; 
?>
