variable howto

[rut]

I have this in a .inc (include file):

<title> <?php $page_title; ?></title>

in the php page I have this:

<?php
$page_title = 'Reidsville Christian Church';
include('./include/template.inc');
?>

This works well.

I'd like to do the same for the .css file to include in the php page.
Something like this:

In template.inc
<link href= $page_css rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

In index.php

<?php
$page_title = 'Reidsville Christian Church';
include('./include/template.inc');
$page_css = 'index.css';
?>
This doesn't work. I suspect I'm refering to the $page_css incorrectly
in the template.inc file.
Can someone help on this?

Thanks
Rut

Well, you'll have to put the $page_css = 'index.css'; before the
include for it to work.

That said, it's hard to see how this include is doing anything useful.
You need to reconsider the logic of what you are doing.

What it is doing is separating the data from the layout

You need <link href="<?php echo $page_css; ?>" rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css">
