css.php required when using flat CSS?

Hi there,

Quick question, is the css.php file, which is in root directory, needed if you host your CSS files the traditional way (i.e., not using Textpattern database for CSS)? Is it OK to remove this file?

Sure, kill it.

Thanks Ruud!

You mean, we can ignore the following?

Diagnostics

Pre-flight check

Missing files:
/home/www/blabla/html/johndoe/textpattern/../css.php

I guess that the answer would be yes unless you want to use the built in styles interface.

I don’t, I never use that. I can live with the pre-flight warning in this case.

I never use the database based css too.

I like using it in combination with rvm_css. Instead of using the tags though, I call the file directly.

I use the php based css on low traffic sites, and css static files on higher traffic sites.

Is there any performance advantage to removing the css.php file if a site actually isn’t using it?

No performance advantage. You just gain a tiny bit of disk space :)
