could someone check my php code
the file name is css.php

PHP Code:

<?php
header("Content-type: text/css");
if(basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], '.php') == 'index')
{
?>    
#left {
    width: 140px;
    float: left;
    }
    
#main {
    margin-left: 150px;
    }
  
#container {
    width: 100%;
    float: right;
    margin-left: -140px;
    }    
<?php
}

?>

and i include it in my php file like this
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style/css.php" />

the problem is, when im on the index.php, it doesnt show the above css

why dont you simply use a css file ? I cant see why you would want to complicate things by creating css using php.

I would simply add the following to your pages:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style/css.css" />

Maybe he wants to do some Shaun Inman fancy style color changing or something. "CSS variables" style.

Here's your problem:

if(basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], '.php') == 'index')

PHP_SELF is not index.php in this case, it is css.php. This is because you are not "including" the file into index.php you are bringing it in via a <link> therefore it is it's own script with it's PHP_SELF reflecting it's name.

Easiest solution I think would be to pass the basename to the css file via querystring.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style/css.php?base=BASENAME" />

Reality is, there is probably much better logic than this, I just don't know what you are trying to achieve.

I'm not a PHP coder, but maybe doing things inline also helps.

<?php
if(basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], '.php') == 'index')
{
?>
<style type="text/css">
#left {
width: 140px;
float: left;
}

#main {
margin-left: 150px;
}

#container {
width: 100%;
float: right;
margin-left: -140px;
}
</style>
<?php
}

?>

Just confused as to why you want to do this.
