[wp-hackers] Dynamic Style Sheets

[Guy Leech]

Interesting, though I don't understand why you're defining 'WP_USE_THEMES'
as false. Care to enlighten me?

My solution is to send out a '<?php header('Content-Type: text/css'); ?>' at
the very end of the file. I've only tested it in current browsers, but I see
no obvious reason why it wouldn't work. It looks something like this:

--
/* CSS stuff */
<?php //PHP stuff ?>
/*CSS stuff */
<?php header('Content-Type: text/css'); ?>
