Every so often, at the beginning of a new project at work, I almost always have to add a page-specific stylesheet to a certain page on the project. And usually (almost always it seems) I forget the exact code to enter at the top of the .phtml page.
And I thought I should blog it, so that at least I remember it for future use…
This is for Zend Framework-built sites only, of course, and so long as this is in your <head> section of your bootstrap Index file…
<?php echo $this->headTitle(); echo $this->headScript(); echo $this->headStyle(); echo $this->headLink(); ?>
…Then, on the page we’re talking about, before output on your .phtml file, add the following code
$this->headLink()->appendStylesheet('/path/to/page-styles.css');
Done! So there you are. Some of you might have already known that, maybe some of you have no idea what I’m talking about – but at least I know where to find this damn code again!

Do you know a why to set the media attribute via the zend API? I need to be able to define a print.css and ensure the media=”print” attribute is set. So that the final html looks like :
