Using PHP as a CSS file?

Question

How would I go about using PHP as a CSS file. I have just included it as a normal css file, but it fails to work in Google Chrome.

Do you want do use a css content saved as php file ? Is that what I undestood? Why such a thing? — devasia2112

You have to tell the browser that it is a CSS-file and not a HTML-file, write the following before any output:

<?php header("Content-type: text/css"); ?>

Try adding

<?php header("Content-type: text/css"); ?>

in first line of your stylesheet.php
