You can point your stylesheet link to a PHP file like this: <link
type="stylesheet" href="css.php" type="text/css">
and then in your PHP script, make sure you set your output header type
to text/css like so:
header("Content-Type: text/css");
That way, your PHP script can output exactly what CSS you require.
