================

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/ed359b50fcccf3a480e5730eb090e99ece38868c238053346a193ab4be38863f/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f646c756e646772656e2f7068702d6373732d73706c69747465722e7376673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/dlundgren/php-css-splitter)

Splits stylesheets that go beyond the IE limit of 4096 selectors. See this [MSDN blog post](http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ieinternals/archive/2011/05/14/internet-explorer-stylesheet-rule-selector-import-sheet-limit-maximum.aspx) for more information about this.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Use composer

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The default max selectors is 4095.

```
$splitter = new \CssSplitter\Splitter();
// Load your css file
$css = file_get_contents('styles.css');

// Skip the first part as the Internet Explorer interprets your css until it reaches the limit
$selector_count = $splitter->countSelectors($css) - 4095;
// Calculate how many additional parts we need to create
$additional_part_count =  ceil($selector_count / 4095);

if($additional_part_count > 0) {
	// Loop and create the additional parts
	// Add an offset of two as we are creating the css from the second part on
	for($part = 2; $part < $additional_part_count + 2; $part++) {
		// Create or update the css files
		file_put_contents('styles_'. $part .'.css', $splitter->split($css, $part));
	}
}
```
