injecting php variables into lessphp 0.3.8 - variables

Question

I am trying to inject some php variables into my less css using the method described in the lessphp docs. I can do:
$lc = new lessc;
$lc->setVariables(array("stylesheetURI" => "foo/bar"));
Which ultimately allows me to do:
background-image: url("#{stylesheetURI}/img/logo.jpg");
Which results in:
background-image: url("foo/bar/img/logo.jpg");
Thats all perfect & works like a charm ...
However I'd prefer to add a full URL to my image paths. So I am doing:
$lc = new lessc;
$lc->setVariables(array("stylesheetURI" => "http://mydomain.com/foo/bar"));
But that results in:
background-image: url("http/img/logo.jpg");
Which is clearly wrong. Has anyone else seen this issue? I've had a dig around in the lessc.inc.php class but it's a bit of a beast and I haven't managed to locate the problem. I presume its related to the colon - do anyone know how to escape this? I've tried a backslash but that doesn't work.
Thanks all

Answer 1

I try
$less = new lessc;
$less->setVariables(array(
'rdir'=> '"/resources/default"'
));
echo $less->compileFile($lessFileName);
im less file I have
img{
background-image: url(#{rdir}/img.jpg);
}
in output I have:
img {
background-image: url(/resources/default/img.jpg);
}
when I try
$less->setVariables(array(
'rdir'=> '"http://example.com/resources/default"'
));
I get
img {
background-image: url(http://example.com/resources/default/img.jpg);
}
lessphp v0.3.9
you can try add string variable with quotes '"http://example.com/"'
