Well it's not "just" stylesheet changes. We have links that are different for the different folders. For example we have a left navigation bar, those links displayed there will change based on the directory, as well as a couple H1 tags that display some basic info that differs directory to directory. It's awhole lot easier to have all this in one file and then switch the output based on the directory location, then it is to have seperate files for each, not to mention in an dynamic page where everything on that page is changeable, how do you add the proper link to that stylesheet or function page? .. Sure you could fopen the page after it's been created and then fwrite the link in, but you'd still need a switch to know what link to fwrite in and opening sockets like that is just an invite to trouble. Atleast thats my opinion on the matter. Remember they can create pages on the fly, and these people who create the pages are how do we say, HTML challenged? I think thats the politically correct term.

I think you're over-thinking this one or maybe doing it the hard way. If everything in a particular folder is always going to have the same theme, then just put the stylesheet in that folder and references it in the HTML you output. "localstyle.css" Something like that. If you want to be able to have 'themes', then dynically alter the filename vial PHP: "$themename-localstyle.css" You could do the same thing with getting the directory name and using that like you'd use a $themename. Anyway, that's what I'd do instead of worrying about switch statements and all. Would that work for what you're trying to do? -TG > -----Original Message----- > From: Tony Devlin [mailto:tdevlin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Monday, November 22, 2004 11:20 AM > To: Php-Windows > Subject: RE: How can I? > > > The reasoning for this is so that I can apply different > stylesheets and > formatting to different pages inside a specific site.
