Re: Javascript and PHP interaction

What you *COULD* do is this: Use .htaccess to force your .css files to *really* be PHP files: <Files ~.css> ForceType application/x-httpd-php </Files> [NOTE: Depending on your server configuration, the application/x-httpd-php part could be *ANYTHING* the sysadmin felt was appropriate...] Inside your CSS, you now have the full-blown power of PHP to output whatever you think is "right" for the CSS. But you'll need to tell the browser that this *IS* CSS output, so you'll need: <?php header("Content-type: text/css"); ?> at the very tip-top. Note that browsers can cache the CSS, so you'll want to add more headers to stop that, probably, or have a random value in the LINK tag in your HTML document.
