I think you can configure Apache to parse whatever file extensions you
like as PHP, in other words you configure it with the hosting
application, the CGI module should not care what it's receiving.

My web host uses PHP as a CGI module, I think, therefore, that it
only handles files with .php extension?

Stephen,
Several options actually are available on the PHP side.
-- you CAN script the CSS to select the appropriate background image.
-- multiple css files, use php to call the appropriate one.
I have an example available if you're interested.

Subject: [WSG] Dynamic Styles - Inline? What?
One site that I'm currently coding
(http://www.minimology.co.uk/everest)
uses some simple PHP to manage a few dynamic elements on the pages.
One of these elements (will be | is) 2 Sponsors logos at the top of
each
page which will go into the template. I want the links to be randomly
selected from a list and to use an FIR derivation to show the relevant
company logos in an accessible manner. I also, however, want the user
to be able to edit an xml file describing the attributes of the various
sponsors and to add new ones. Normally I would define the FIR
images in
a linked x.css file but this is not scriptable. How does the list
suggest the tags should be styled in this case?
* Inline stylesheets?
* Linked ".php" with content-type of text/css?
* style="" attribute?
Any thoughts??
Thanks
Stephen
