Global variables in css style sheets

You can write your SITE_ROOT constant into the CSS files by parsing them with PHP. Add this to .htaccess:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .css

Then embed PHP into the CSS files as you would do in any .php file.

php css apache server-configuration

There is no way to do this with CSS. If you want to do something like this you could make it a PHP file and use variables that way.

But couldn't you just use absolute URLs?

background-image: url(/images/myimage.jpg);

Will work on any server, is not relative, and will find the files from the root.
