Greatings All,
I'm working on a site that has a three color scheme. Each of the colors is used in several elements. Unfortunatly, the three colors keep changing as the design is refined. Is there a way to asign a color a name and use it that name instead of #NNNNN?

PHP
If you have PHP enabled you can set variables in your stylesheets. I know of some blogging systems that do this. Say you wanted #444444 to be set as darkgrey you could do $darkgrey = '#444444;'; and you could use the syntax like this in the CSS
color: <?php $darkgrey ?>
OR
color: <?php echo $darkgrey; ?>
I THINK! If not let me know.

looks right to me. Using PHP is stylesheets takes a bit of a hack on my server to get them to return as "text/css." I was hoping that css had this function built in.

How do you make your server accept css as php? I suppose it has something to do with MIME or apache handlers, but I've never messed with those before.

<?php
header('Content-type: text/css');
?>
That will send the correct mime type for a css document with a .php extension.

So if I get it right, I rename my file to style.php, and I put your code at the beginning.
In my html files I put this:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.php" />

Yep, thats the one. Should work just fine, I actually tried it last week and it was all good. Works on every browser I've tested it on.
