firefox won't load css file, due to incorrect MIME type.
I am using dynamic css to rotate header background images. It requires the line:
echo "<style type='text/css' media='screen'> @import url('images/random-images/dynamic_css.php');</style>\n";
to be added between the <head> tags. The file 'dynamic_css.php' contains a line telling the browser that the file type is "text/css", but Firefox treats it as "text/html" and refuses to load it. If I duplicate the style declaration by also adding it outside of the head tags, Firefox loads it, but that causes other issues. What do I need to do to get Firefox to load the script from inside the head tags?

That is probably because the server doesn't send a file with the php file extension as text/css.
Did you try to add a PHP header to make sure that the file gets send as text/css ?
Firefox may try to load such files from the cache and not reload them from the server.

Thanks cor-el.
The php file does include the line:
header('Content-type: text/css');
I'll follow up your suggestion re. the development forum.
