Thank you all for your suggestions. Regarding using the controller
action to render my css, it dawned on me to create a similar, but
different solution. I figured why not create a class that writes a
dynamically generated file to the disk? That way, I can take
advantage of the config.ini and any other framework toys I need. I
thought I might include the class (its not rocket science, but I
thought if some of you thought this was useful enough, it might be
added to the framework as a tool):
class generateCSS
{
private function createCode()
{
$config = Zend_Registry::get('config');
$lgnbtn = $config->c_forms->site->input->submit;
$header = $config->c_general->site->headers;
$css = <<<END
body
{
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
.login_submit_button
{
margin: 0px 52px 0px 0px;
color: $header;
background: $lgnbtn; /* #6678C4; */
}
END;
return $css;
}
public function generateCSS()
{
if (!file_exists('includes/style.css'))
{
$css = $this->createCode();
exec("echo '$css' > includes/style.css");
exec("chmod 777 includes/style.css");
}
}
}
