you can use    lt  php  css   file get contents  CSS main css    echo  css    gt    and assuming that css file doesn t have it already  wrap the above in    lt style type  text css  gt       lt  style gt

To use  include  to include CSS  you have to tell PHP you re using CSS code  Add this to your header of your CSS file and make it main php  or styles css  or whatever    header  Content-type  text css  charset  UTF-8      This might help with some user s connections  but it theoretically  read  I haven t tested it  adds processor overhead to your server and according to Steve Souder  because your computer can download multiple files at once  using include could be slower  If you have your CSS split into a dozen files  maybe it would be faster   Steve s blog post  http   www stevesouders com blog 2009 04 09 dont-use-import  Source  http   css-tricks com css-variables-with-php

I don t know why you would need this but to do this  you could edit your css file -   lt style type  text css  gt  body               lt  style gt    You have just added  here and saved it as main php  You can continue with main css but it is better as  php since it does not remain a css file after you do that edit    Then edit your HTML file like this  NOTE  Make the include statement inside the  tag   lt html gt   lt head gt    lt title gt Sample lt  title gt    lt  php inculde  css main css    gt   lt  head gt   lt body gt           lt  body gt   lt  html gt

This is an older post  however as the info is still relevant today an additional option may help others    Define a constant for the file path per Stefan s answer  The definition can be placed at the top of the PHP page itself  or within an included required external file such as config php   http   php net manual en function include php  Echo the constant in PHP tags  then add the filename directly after  That s it  Works for other linked files such as JavaScript as well      lt  php define  CSS PATH    template css       define CSS path  define  JS PATH    template js       define JavaScript path    gt   lt  -- Doctype should be declared  even in PHP file -- gt   lt  DOCTYPE html gt    lt html gt   lt head gt   lt link rel  stylesheet  type  text css  href   lt  php echo CSS PATH    gt main css  gt   lt script type  text javascript  src   lt  php echo JS PATH    gt main js  gt  lt  script gt   lt  head gt   lt body gt   lt  body gt   lt  html gt

I solved a similar problem by enveloping all css instructions in a php echo and then saving it as a php file  ofcourse starting and ending the file with the php tags   and then included the php file  This was a necessity as a redirect followed  header   somefilename php    and no html code is allowed before a redirect
