   I have the following css in my header();.

   <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico">
   <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>">

   I know that this will only load 1 css file to all of my pages. My question is, can anyone shoot me a loop that will plug in all the correct style sheets for each individual templates? Keep in mind that all my page temples use the get_header();, get_sidebar();, and get_footer();, so the only thing changing is the content.

   So i'm guessing a need a loop in my header.php file that does the following:

   load "this.css" on "thispage.php"
   load "this_other.css" on "this_other_page.php"

   etc. etc.

   Any suggestions?

   if ( is_page_template( 'thispage.php' ) ) {
        Load CSS here
       } elseif ( is_page_template( 'this_other_page.php' ) ) {
        Load CSS here
       } else {
        Load CSS here
       }

   Would you please give me an example of what it would look like when "Load CSS here" is replaced with an actual path? Also, if I have more than 2 templates that I want style sheets to load on, would I just continue adding more "elseif" statements? Like this: ?

   <?php
   if ( is_page_template( 'thispage.php' ) ) {
        Load CSS here
       } elseif ( is_page_template( 'this_other_page_1.php' ) ) {
        Load CSS here
       } elseif ( is_page_template( 'this_other_page_2.php' ) ) {
        Load CSS here
       } elseif ( is_page_template( 'this_other_page_3.php' ) ) {
        Load CSS here
       } else {
        Load CSS here
       }
   ?>

   Yes it would go exactly like that and where 'Load CSS here' is you would just replace that with a link to the CSS file that you would like to use for that particular page.

   The following is not working:

   <?php

   if ( is_page_template( 'home.php' ) ) {
   <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>">

   } elseif ( is_page_template( 'contact.php' ) ) {
   <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/css/contact_form.css" media="screen" type="text/css" />

   } else {

   }

   ?>

   I'm pretty sure its because since I have opened the php and trying to write html inside of it without it being a string, it is getting confused when I try to re-open php inside of the file path. So I "think" I know what the problem is, but I don't know how to solve it. :( I thought of making it a string by putting it inside of quotes but it did nothing. Any suggestions?

   <?php
   
   if ( is_page_template( 'home.php' ) ) { ?>
   <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>">
   <?php
   } elseif ( is_page_template( 'contact.php' ) ) { ?>
   <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/css/contact_form.css" media="screen" type="text/css" />
   <?php
   } else {
   
   }
   
   ?>

   That should do it ;)

   Yup. That did it. And I learned something. :) I didn't know that you can open and close the php at will without effecting how it works. Thank you so much for your help. I appreciate it.
