LESSPHP Links in Variables

Question

I need to use a less variable to import google fonts into a stylesheet. The current way I am doing it is: @import url(@{googleFonts}); The variable I am passing into LESSPHP is: "googleFonts" => "http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Linden+Hill" However, all it is compiling to is: import url(http);

The past import statement I tried was: @import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=@{googleFonts}); With the variable of just: Linden+Hall

This worked better, but the problem I ran into here was the + was being stripped. Leaving just LindenHall.

So if you know how to make the compiler leave the + alone, then that works just fine aswell!

Answer 1

Try an extra set of quote marks around your path (note the '):

"googleFonts" => "'http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Linden+Hill'"

From the LESS PHP documentation, it states:

Be aware that the value of the variable is a string containing a CSS value. So if you want to pass a LESS string in, you're going to need two sets of quotes. One for PHP and one for LESS.
