hello all ! I have a big problem, i don't know much about php, but i want to implement a styleswitcher ala ...http://www.alistapart.com/articles/phpswitch ... but it gets me crazy last 2 days...

what i've done sofar is:

in theme.html:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" title="User Defined Style" href="<{$xoops_url}>/userstyles/<{php}>echo(!isset($sitestyle))?'style':$sitestyle<{/php}>.css" />

and this is the switcher.php which i put in the root of that domain...

<?php
$set = $_GET['set'];
$set = preg_replace('#[^a-zA-Z0-9_-]#', '', $set);
setcookie ('sitestyle', $set, time()+31536000, '/', '.yellowbyte.com', '0');
header('Location: '.$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);
?>

it works so far that i dont get a blank page , but it don't changes path to stylesheet... he renders that php into link rel stylesheet ...but seems to forget that echo... all i get back is "domain/userstyles/style.css" but no changes when click on e.g. red ....??

someone out there with a solution ?
michael

ok... i've just managed to install a styleswitcher which uses session id instead of cookies, i hope there are no problems using mozilla ? .. Please have a look ...
at... http://yellowbyte.com

thanks for comments ... Please! if there will be someone with more knowledge in php, please! help ... within that solution i still had to use the links changing styles within the theme.html (within block the link within <?php echo does not work , and sessionid kills w3c validator...

Instead of



I would use



However, it's insecure to blindly use a cookie value to construct a path. The value should be checked first, to make sure it's reasonable.

thanks dave, i will try it, if actual solutions does not work. Shouldn't it possible to use XOOPS cookie? hm.. thanks again..
