just wondering if anyone can let me know if its possible to create PHP scripts that create a CSS document from a template (maybe hard-coded into the PHP) with various aspects of the CSS being decided by the user.
I've heard its possible to edit and re-save .txt documents to a server, but I don't know whether this would extend to .css files?
Also, is it possible for a PHP script to edit the text in another PHP script?
I'm fairly competent and have a decent amount of experience with PHP so am not afraid of some intense coding! :-)
Thanks in advance,
Matt

Certainly possible. You could just create a directory outside your http path, which would contain a subdirectory for each user. Then user a PHP include to make that code part of your HTML or CSS page.

Sure, css files are text files.

What are you trying to accomplish? This sounds like a job for meta-data, to me. Change the behavior of the script without changing the script itself.
There was a discussion a while back regarding Server Side Scripting in CSS Files [webmasterworld.com] that may also be of interest to you.
