hi,

how to make winxp+nusphere php to serve css files as text/css and not text/html?

Not usually a problem that it does serve .css files as 'text/html', until using firefox and the file declaration is xhtml in which the css file is called from.

firefox http live headers shows that:

Code:

http://localhost:8080/path/Default5.css

GET /path/Default5.css HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:8080
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8.1.18) Gecko/20081029 Firefox/2.0.0.18 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.11
Set-Cookie: DBGSESSID=-1; path=/;
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Server: Srv/5.9.0.5916

looking at errors in ff:

Code:

Error: The stylesheet http://localhost:8080/path/Default5.css was not loaded because its MIME type, "text/html", is not "text/css".
Source File: http://localhost:8080/path/page.php

Thanks

William.

do I need to edit:
C:\Program Files\NuSphere\PhpED\config\srvmime.cfg
(currently empty) with an entry for css files?
if so what is the format for entries into this file?

Did you ever figure out a solution to this issue? I am having the same problem...

I am not sure of solution/problem (It was two years ago)

a possible solution maybe adding the following?
<meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css" />

It seems is your mistake. If you don't output the content type header, php WILL ADD it for you and the default content type is of course text/html.
So, if you process CSS or JS, you have to add header('Content-Type: text/css') or header('Content-Type: text/javascript') respectively and of course the header must the the first output in your script.

For further details please check php manual:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.header.php

btw, I'd recommend never process CSS or JS in php. It's better to leave them static (e.g. files). Scripts that you output from php won't be cached on the client, so they will re-run for each page the client requests. This would slow down appearing of the page in the browser and may bring some side effects. Finally, there is no reason to add anything for CSS or JS in php.
