Using variables in CSS style sheets

by jcook on October 18, 2007

CSS style sheets are wonderful things. They offer greater design control than traditional HTML and make it possible change the look and feel of an entire website by changing only one file. Of course that power comes at a cost. CSS has a steep learning curve and editing a style sheet, especially one you didn’t create, can be a difficult process.

The good news is there is a solution to those problems that requires only a limited knowledge of PHP scripting to implement: using variables in your style sheets. The bad news is, of course, that CSS doesn’t allow for variables. This post will show you how to get around that limitation.
