I'd like to be able to check some boxes to parse PHP in my .js and .css files.  This would make it easier to use the same script/style multiple times and, in the case of JavaScript, automatically include any required libraries of a script that makes use of the feature.  As it is, I can do this by using .js.php and .css.php (the first part being intended to remind me what I did), but 1) the server will send the file with a MIME type of "text/html," 2) any text editor with syntax-highlighting will highlight the wrong stuff, and 3) remembering to do so can be difficult and (when I forget) inconvenient.

EDIT: This also makes it possible to write dynamic CSS, which is convenient when several values are related (mathematically or as strings).

You can do that using .htaccess, I believe. I haven't had much experience with .htaccess, but other members may have pulled this off.

You can add handlers for PHP to your .htaccess, it's true. This should work:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .css
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .js

Dern.  I just found out that .htaccess costs.  I don't pay for it and don't plan to anytime soon (at least until I have income from my site).
