changing css styles with php
I have a header.inc and a css style sheet that are called to each page of a website via php. In the style sheet there are two styles that I would like to change depending on the section of the website.

For example:
in the style sheet
css id "subnav" has background: #E8EDF5 and
cssi id "subtitle" has background #E8EDF5

however in each major section of the website I would like to change the background colors of the divs that have id "subnav" and "subtitle".

Is there type of php statement that I could place at the top of my website pages that would allow me to specify the colors of these two css ids?

Hope I have made this clear.

Short answer: No.
Long answer: Yes, but you'll have to create a script that output the css based on the page calling it. Another way is to create diferent style sheets for every section. Or you could place the statements subnav and subtitle in a <style> in the page you create and not in the style sheet...

PHP Code:
<?php
if(<-- statement -->) {
 $bgcolor1 = "#FF0000";
}
else 
 $bgcolor1 = "#E8EDF5";
?>

<head>
   <style>
.subnav{
background-color: <?php print $bgcolor1; ?>;
}
  </style>
</head>


If that's not ok, then you could make several CSS files and include the one with correct colors

PHP Code:
<?php
if(<-- statement -->)
print "<link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" href=\"style1.css\">";

else 
print "<link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" href=\"style_default.css\">";
?>

besides using Kimppa's method, u can also try 2 override the div tag style using style attribute....
set the style attributes with the desired colour using php script...
