Dynamically changing CSS files

digitaloverlay · 12-20-2007, 08:43 PM

Hey,
Not sure if this is the right area for this but I am looking to allow my visitors to swap style sheets with a link. I have been looking to do it with php but haven't found the right way yet. I don't want to use javascript because that can be disabled by the user. Any suggestions?

Maybe this will help you (or, at least, will give you a start):

if you want to have a different style based on a query string.
EG: www.mysite.com?style=1
you can do it like this

Code:

<?php
switch($_GET['style']) {
case 1:
$style="style.css";
break;
case 2:
$style="style2.css";
default:
$style="style.css";
break;
}
?>

then in <head>

Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $style; ?>" type="text/css">
