OO CSS? Creating single CSS file and including with php on many pages
I have a single CSS file that I'm using all over the place on my website. When I edit the file, I have to copy it to each directory to make sure that each directory is using the same file.

I would like to have a php file in each directory that I can include with the same code in every file, that points to the CSS file in the root directory of the site.

I tried putting this in the html of the page:

Code:

<?php include('styleref.php'); ?>


Then put this in styleref.php:

PHP Code:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.website.com/layout.css"> 


But this didn't work.

Any hints?

No need to have PHP do anything. Put your layout.css file in the document root and use the following:
Code:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/layout.css" />
B/c you precede layout.css with a forward slash in the href attribute, it will look for that file relative to the document root instead of relative to the current directory, which is where it looks if you don't preced the filename with a forward slash.

What would be considered the root of a website? The directory containing the files displayed when you go to "website.com"?

Figured out the root. Appears it is the "htdocs" folder when running Apache.

Thanks Jeremy.

Yes, but ...

... isn't always the case.

But for now, do what's working.
