Wordpress dynamic CSS with wp-load

Question

I have a dynamic css file that pulls information from the database e.g

header("Content-type: text/css");

require_once('../../../../wp-load.php');

if ( get_option(PREFIX."_theme_base_color") <> "" ){
    $default_theme_colour = html_entity_decode(get_option(PREFIX."_theme_base_color"),ENT_QUOTES, "UTF-8"); 
} else {
    $default_theme_colour = 'a3f088';
};

but I really hate using require_once('../../../../wp-load.php'); and there has to be a better way to loat "wp-load" into the file.

it seems that you are using some kind of plugin , or theme with plugin codes.

If you are the developer , you can read here :

At any case ,you can use bloginfo('wpurl'); or is you have set a BASENAME than **plugin_basename($file); **

if you are a simple user ,I suggest you leave that as it is .

Hi, thanks for the reply. This is for my own theme, I don't really want to write up my css in the functions.php file. In regards to the bloginfo('wpurl') I would still have to hard code the path echo get_bloginfo("wpurl").'/wp-content/wp-load.php'; Perhaps I'm just being pedantic.

well, my friend, There is nothing wrong being edantic when writing code . I know I am . :-) but IMHO - you do not have a choice . SOMEWHERE it needs to be defined. the shortest way I can think is this : site_url( 'wp-load.php' ) but I would recommend you to read the link I have posted, along with other info (google) on why it is not o good to include it .
