RR> --Sol Chaneles You don't need to call your style sheets .css they can be just as easily called .php and even have a querystring attached like subsite.php?user=fred That way just use php as normal and return a style sheet just as you would a html page. example <html> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles/subsite.php?user=fred"> </head> <body> . . . </body> subsite would have something like <? $user = (isset($_GET['user']))? $_GET['user']: 'none'; $default_color = 'blue'; switch($user){ case 'fred': echo 'H1 {font-size: 18px; color: red;}'; break; case 'none': echo 'H1 {font-size: 18px; color: '.$default_color.';}'; break; } regards, Tom
