None of which are a good idea. And so those who keep espousing these
crappy solutions (which are off topic in this newsgroup but there are so
many of them I will respond anyway):
CSS files should be CSS files - and should not have a .php extension;
there is almost never a need for any php code in a css file. The same
with javascript and .js extensions.
And files should be included using link tags, not directly included in
the source file directly (unless they are specific to this page - in
which case there is no need for conditional includes). That way file
can be cached by the browser and/or routers between the web server and
the client, decreasing both network traffic and server load.
There are a lot of things "that work" but are not a good idea.
