I embedded php code inside css and changed my .htaccess to read --

result was that everything worked and did what I wanted.
However, FireFox / Mozillia won't accept a css file if a .htaccess file
reads as indicated above.
Christopher Weldon answered:
That shouldn't be expected. The SetHandler only applies to the Apache
handler side, as browsers should not be able to read those files
(.htaccess). So, are you 100% positive that PHP is in fact processing
the file?
Christopher , this is what I'm sure of:
1. My css file has php code in it.
2. Without the .htaccess as noted above, the php code is not processed.
3. With the .htaccess as above, the php code *is* processed.
4. All (most popular) browsers, except for FF/Mozillia, allow php inside of css.
Please note that, Kreme and Wind (sounds like a Rock group) provided the answer, which was to add a header to the css file, like so:
header('Content-Type: text/css; charset=ISO-8859-1');
So, it wasn't that the browsers were reading the .htaccess file, but rather because of the .htaccess file FireFox/Mozillia required a header in the css file just to keep things straight (my understanding).
Now, this header coupled with the above .htaccess allows php code to be embedded within a css file AND work for all popular browsers, including FireFox/Mozillia.
This is simply amazing, at least to me, and completes my next step toward world domination. :->.
Many thanks gang for your most excellent and mondo kewl advice.
