CSS Changer

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if there is a script around that will change which CSS file the web page reads from depending on which is selected by the user. I have seen it before and am unsure if it will be PHP or JS.

Thanks in advanced, much appreciated.

 

you can use php or js, it's depend on you.

 

which one would be better for seo ect.?

 

I think you are a bit confused... Anyway in PHP you can create a simple function that will change the style of the PAGE whenever you will need it or you can create a simple script that will store a CSS file for every page, or you can create a script that will change it randomly or you can create a script that will read from a database which style to load for a specified content or you can do a simple PHP script that will allow users (if we are talking about a website that allow registration) that will allow users to decide the template...

But if you will clarify a bit your question we will be able to help you more

 

This should get you started, save it for example as style.php:

<?php
/* basic php example */
if($_GET['style'] == 'green'){
//green stylesheet...
echo "<link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" media=\"screen\" href=\"".$_GET['style']".css\">";
} else if($_GET['style'] == 'blue'){
//blue stylesheet...
echo "<link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" media=\"screen\" href=\"".$_GET['style']".css\">";
} else {
//the default stylesheet, if none is selected.
echo "<link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" media=\"screen\" href=\"default.css\">";
}
?>

PHP:

Then the user can select their style such as: style.php?style=green, and it would embed the green.css stylesheet...

You can further enhance the code, using sessions etc.

 

thanks very much all, have use the script Danx10 gave... works a treat. thanks again
