Crazy PHP and CSS Dilemma

this problem deals with using linking style sheets AND php includes at the same time.

it is kind of hard to follow. might be best to grab a sheet of paper to map this one out.
here we go...

i have a web site that uses PHP includes to deliver most of the content on the site. Ex: "index.php" includes "includes/navigation.inc.php" and "includes/titlebar.inc.php". These include files use linking style sheets that are in a different directory. Ex: { link href="css/links.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" }

This does not seem to work, however. It seems that the PHP includes do not call the stylesheets and when i try to link it from my index.php page, it still seems to do nothing.

Am I doing something wrong here? Any kind of special syntax? Any correspondence or help would be GREATLY appreciated!!

i think there is something wrong regarding ur concept.

basically PHP is used to out put HTML.

now its upto u what HTML o/p to produce.

suppose that u r writing this

link href="css/links.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"


then it will look for links.css as u have put in normal html page. it has nothing to do with PHP.

make sure that there is css directory under directory where PHP script is residing..

i think best approach would be to use absolute path for css file. that should work for sure,

Try creating a link for the absolute path and use that in your link to the stylesheet :

$path = "/home/sites/home/web/yoursite";

link href="<?php echo $path; ?>/css/links.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"

That will solve the problem of incorrect paths.

It's really a matter of how you want your directory structure set up.

Try cdogg's method with the include() function and include stylesheets written just as if they were embedded in the page.
