Actually you can.

1st Solution

Instead of using the .css file extension, use .php

Set up variables

<?php

   header("Content-type: text/css; charset: UTF-8"); //look carefully to this line

   $brandColor = "#990000";
   $linkColor  = "#555555";
?>

Use variables

#header {
   background: url("<?php echo $CDNURL; ?>/images/header-bg.png") no-repeat;
}
a {
  color: <?php echo $linkColor; ?>;
}

...

ul#main-nav li a {
  color: <?php echo $linkColor; ?>;
}

2nd and short solution

Create a file and name it like style.php, then in your style.php set your styles in tags like below

style.php

<style>
.blabla{
   ....
}

#heeeHoo{
   ...
}
</style>

then include style.php to your file (test.php) like

<html>
<head>
    <?php include 'style.php'; ?>
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>

That is the correct answer. Think like inline css but that is actually in external file

You can use <style> in the PHP file.

//test.php

<html>
<head>
<?php $var = 'anything';?>
</head>
<body>
<style>
<?php echo $var; ?>
</style>
</body>
</html>

The style can also be put in the <head>.
