linking a .css file to a php script
Hello everyone.

I want to link a .css file to my php script. I tried ti include the .cc file but it gave me an error about include_path. I made sure the pathname was correct and it didn't work. Does anyone have any ideas?

you don't include it with the include() function. you include it just as you would in HTML (between the HEAD tags):
Code:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css" />

(or whatever the name of your file is)

You can also place the <link> element in another file and include that file.
For example, you can write a "header.inc" file like this:
<html>
<head>
<title>My Stuff</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css">
</head>

and then include the header.inc file in your php file like this
<?php
include("header.inc");
include("otherfiles.inc");
?>

Stylesheets can grow with your site and become pretty complex as different formatting requirements come up. I think it's a good idea to use them with include -- just make sure your include_path is adjusted in php.ini.

Windows:

include_path=".;c:\Webshare\Wwwroot\php\"

Point it to the directory where you want to keep your .inc files and the stylesheet will work.

mbritton72 has the answer to the question your asking.

If you run a phpinfo.php page, you will be able to find out what is set as the current include_path for your php setup. All you have to do then, is put your .css include file in that folder and it should work fine.
