**scssphp** is a compiler for [SCSS][0] written in PHP.

SCSS is a CSS preprocessor that adds many features like variables, mixins,
imports, color manipulation, functions, and tons of other powerful features.

The entire compiler comes in a single class file ready for including in any
kind of project in addition to a command line tool for running the compiler
from the terminal.

**scssphp** implements SCSS (3.2.12). It does not implement the SASS syntax,
only the SCSS syntax.

## Language Reference

For a complete guide to the syntax of SCSS, consult the [official documentation][1].

## PHP Reference

Complete documentation for **scssphp** is located at <a href="$root/docs/">http://leafo.net/scssphp/docs/</a>.

### Quickstart

If you just want to start serving compiled `scss` files as quick as possible
then start here.

**scssphp** comes with a easy to use class that automatically compiles modified
`scss` files and serves them from a directory you specify.

Create a file, like `style.php`:

    ```php
    <?php
    $directory = "stylesheets";

    require "scssphp/scss.inc.php";
    scss_server::serveFrom($directory);

    ```

Create the directory set in the script alongside the script, then add your
`scss` files to it.

If we've got a file in there called `style.scss`, then we just need to hit the
url: `example.com/style.php/style.scss` to get the compiled css.

If there is an error compiling, the url will result in a `500` error with the
error message. If the file can't be found, then a friendly `404` is returned.

**scssphp** will automatically create a `scss_cache` directory inside the
stylesheets directory where it will cache the compiled output. This way it can
quickly serve the files if no modifications have been made. Your PHP script
must have permission to write in `scss_cache`.

### Compiler Interface

If you're interested in directly using the compiler, then all you need to do is
require `scss.inc.php` and invoke the `scss` class:

    ```php
    <?php
    require "scssphp/scss.inc.php";
    $scss = new scssc();

    echo $scss->compile('
      $color: #abc;
      div { color: lighten($color, 20%); }
    ');

    ```

The `compile` method takes `SCSS` as a string, and returns the `CSS`. If there
is an error when compiling then an exception is thrown with an appropriate
message.
