Use this php
just change the stylesheets
and your domain.
name it theme.php or anything.
Then the link for changing it.
<a href="theme.php?set=orange">Change to theme</a>
just change the stylesheets
and your domain.
name it theme.php or anything.
<?php
// This array lists the "acceptable" themes
$accept = array('orange','blue','green','lime','pink','purple','red','teal','yellow','etc');
// Get style from a query string
if(isset($_REQUEST['set'])){
$theme = trim(strip_tags($_REQUEST['set']));
}
else if(isset($_POST['set'])){
$theme = trim(strip_tags($_POST['set']));
}
else {
// Unknown request
$theme = false;
}
// Check if the requested stylesheet is "acceptable"
if(($theme !== false) && (in_array($theme, $accept))){
setcookie("sitetheme", $theme, time()+31536000, '/', 'domain.com', '0');
}
if(isset($_REQUEST['ref']) || (isset($_POST['ref']))){
if(isset($_REQUEST['ref'])){
$ref = $_REQUEST['ref'];
}
else {
$ref = $_POST['ref'];
}
header("Location: $ref");
exit;
}
else if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])){
// Send the user back to the refering page
header("Location: ". $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);
exit;
}
else {
// No HTTP referrer, send them back to the home page
header("Location: http://domain.com");
exit;
}
?>
Then the link for changing it.
<a href="theme.php?set=orange">Change to theme</a>

There has to be some code that you would put in place of the
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="themes/style.css">
orelse it would keep using the same stylesheet over and over...?
Or am I wrong.

Tiki seems to have missed that part out.
Where your <link> tag was, put:
For that to work, you must store all your stylesheets in a folder called 'themes' (without quotes).
Where your <link> tag was, put:
<?php echo '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="themes/' . $_COOKIE['sitetheme'] . '.css" />'; ?>

Perfect 
I already had them all in a folder called themes.
Except... when someone doesn't have the cookie selected, it doesnt do any stylesheet so my site looks HORRIBLE!
How would i do that with an else... i'm a php noob.

Ok, at the top of your page (your main page that is), put the following above everything else (including the <html> tag and the doctype, etc.):
That is saying that orange.css is your default template, you can change the 'orange' (keep the quotes) to your default sheet; pink, blue, whatever.
<?php
if (!$_COOKIE['sitetheme'])
{
setcookie ('sitetheme', 'orange');
header('Location: ' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
}
?>

I deleted the cookies, then refreshed the page and it came up with no stylesheet info... I'm going to check the problem.
The source code points to "themes/.css"
... I'm a php noob
Maybe if I had a script that created the cookie if it didn't exist right at the top? unless that's what you gave me.
