How to detect version of CSS files?

[toplisek]

I like to set link to version of CSS file like:
styles.css?v=1.4"

How to do this in correct way?

You would use a server side scripting language, best to use PHP.

example.css

body {font-size: 20px;}
<?php
echo '/* '.$_GET['v'].' */';
?>
div.left {float: left;}

i do it differently like this:

styles.v1.4.css

I'm new to this
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/stylesheet1.css?v=1.4" type="text/css" />

How is correct echo for this in php pages where is this css link.

Top, those are HTTP queries. In example...

<link href="example.css?query1=1&query2=2&widgit=3" />

In PHP you can echo those as...

<?php
if (isset($_GET['query1'])) {echo $_GET['query1'];}
if (isset($_GET['query2'])) {echo $_GET['query2'];}
if (isset($_GET['widgit'])) {echo $_GET['widgit'];}
?>

Always check to see if something isset() otherwise you'll spawn errors...and if you expect something and it does not exist it can throw a wrench in your gears so-to-speak.
