RE: [PHP-DB] CSS versus Includes
Hi All,
You can also do ..
if(strpos($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTP_USER_AGENT"], "Macintosh")):
$mysite_style = "mysite_mac.css"; /* MACINTOSH */
else:
$mysite_style = "mysite_win.css"; /*WINDOZE */
endif;
echo "";
So you can combines both browsers and OS's

RE: [PHP-DB] CSS versus Includes
Hi there,
you can also do it this way using Javascript
if (navigator.appName == "Netscape") {
StyleSheet = "netstyle.css"
} else {
StyleSheet = "iestyle.css"
}
document.write('<link rel=stylesheet type="text/css" href="'
+StyleSheet + '">')
All the Best
Lisa

One of the benefits to including a css (as opposed to LINK REL...) is
that you can pre-process the CSS file with PHP.
e.g.
my_css.phtml:
<!--
P ( color: <? echo $MyPHPColorSetting ?> };
-->
or even more useful:
if ($Browser='IE')
{
include "ie.css";
}
else
{
include "other.css";
}
Hope this helps.

I have found that includes work just about as well. Any suggestions on
going
with one or the other?

RE: [PHP-DB] CSS versus Includes
Matt, I recommend using separate style sheets. This is especially important when your users are browsing a record set, say 10 records at a time. There is no need to pass them the style sheet embedded in the PHP page for every page view. If the stylesheet is a file on the file system, it is more efficient for the server to serve that than parse a PHP page. In addition, most CSS files are not dynamic (some are). Since they are not dynamic in most cases they may as well be cached by the browser. If style is embedded in the PHP page and you have no-cache headers in your PHP then you will be passing this redundant data over and over again to the browser. If it is a separate flat file on the file system, it will have a real mod date and the web server and browser can determine when a fresh copy is needed. My 2 cents.

Whether you link to an external stylesheet, embed a style block or
declare the styles in-line is a matter for author management of the
CSS property declarations. The use of includes or scripting the
actual link, block or inline styling in the document does not matter a
wit.
Importantly, if the styling is included, the interpretation is still
done by the client browser. Whether includes or in-document coding
are used, the restrictions and bugs and failure to parse, where
invalid markup or styling is involved, still apply.
What I do notice, however, with some Nav4x browsers, that escaping the
quotes on class names in printf() causes these browsers to sometimes
escape the whole class declaration.
eg.
printf('
%s
%s
%s
%s
%s
', $myrow['id'], $myrow['lname'], $myrow['fname'],$myrow['logon'],
$myrow['logoff']);
The solution for some documents is to write as such
%s
How this will affect xml documents I am not sure
Also with tables, if the data is being extracted from a database, as
above, and the data in a particular field row is null, the td cell
styling background will collapse with Nav4x browsers. This might be
solved by a conditional statement inserting some content where the
database row/field content is null, or constructing the database table
with pseudo content, such as as the default for fields likely
to have null content.
Sorry, but my experience is that oranges are oranges and apples and
apples are apples. Nice thought! but I do not think you can get out
of browser non-compliance by using PHP.

RE: [PHP-DB] CSS versus Includes
this post is about apples and oranges... CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) have nothing to do with includes. They only have to do with formatting elements on a web page. They can be written inside the document, or can referenced externally via a tag. Includes can be anything from a configuration file, a block of text, or a header or footer statement that works across multiple pages, so you don't have to duplicate code. If you meant something else, elaborate. -Original Message- From: Matt Braynard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 30, 2001 5:45 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-DB] CSS versus Includes I have found that includes work just about as well.
