Here is a quick little style system i designed a while ago..
(please note this runs off external CSS style sheets)

Instructions for installation.

1. Download style.txt attached to this post, rename it to style.php.
   
2. Open the script up and edit the following configuration options:
   $defstyle The file name of the default style CSS
   $defname The display name of the default style CSS
   $stylefile The file in which the list of styles is stored (doesnt really need to be edited).
   $styledir The directory in which the css files are in
   
3. Create $stylefile (style.ini by default) and fill it with your styles..example below:
   Code:

   Yellow|||yellow.css
   Green|||green.css

4. On each of the pages you want the style system to come into effect you have to have:
   PHP Code:

   
   include "./style.php"; 
   
   
   
   

5. In your layout/templates whatever you are using you will need to add $css (or <?=$css?> in the CSS tag. eg
   PHP Code:

   
   <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?=$css?>">
   

6. Where you want the list of styles to appear you will need to add <?=$stylelist?> on the page.
   
7. Upload all the files and it should work

Please note this is a 1am job..any problems post back here

Greetingz....

The code I use is as follows...

PHP Code:

function ProcessFile($aFileName)

  {

    global $Title, $PageGen, $Day, $Time, $NumQueries;



    $TheFile = Implode("", file($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/themes/" . $SESSION['Theme'] . "/" . $aFileName));

    $TheFile = addslashes($TheFile);

    $TheFile = "\$R_File=\"" . $TheFile . "\";";

  

    Eval($TheFile);

  

    print $R_File;

  } 

I've got different directories under themes each with html files in them.... (header.htm, footer.htm...)

Then in my "Theme" Files I use $variables In the HTML code.

Also you would then use sessions to get the users Theme Preference...

Might be to much for what you need but the above has worked for me...

Enjoy...
