I would like to get rid of all string specification inside the css file. The 
goal would be that it works with a standard css file. If I just delete the 
string spec in the version above I get a "header allready sent" error.

I guess the problem is the part:

    $css_output = include(style.css);

inclusion works only for php files, but style.css isn't one (except I use a 
string spec what I try to avoid). So Is there a other way to get the css file 
content into a variable?
