CSS and PHP local variables can't be accessed?

<?php header("Content-type: text/css");
$backgroundcolor = "#EE7600";
$textcolor = " #0033FF";
?>
body {
background:<?php echo $backgroundcolor;?>;
color:<?php echo $textcolor?>;
}

I want to be able to change the values assigned to $backgroundcolor = "#EE7600"; and $textcolor = " #0033FF"; on another script and give them new values in terms of color for each one variable.
For example, giving $textcolor = " #0022HH"; a new value of "#0022HH" on another script.

Currently the variables work fine for static unchanging colors for the font and background, but how do I fix the variables so that I can give them different values when called from another script.

I tried making the variables global but that did not work, any ideas, someone was telling me this is impossible with CSS and php and that I needed Java script...

Something like this perhaps:

Code:

<?php header("Content-type: text/css");
if (!isset($backgroundcolor))
{
     $backgroundcolor = "#EE7600";
}
if (!isset($textcolor))
{
     $textcolor = " #0033FF";
}
?>
body {
background:<?php echo $backgroundcolor;?>;
color:<?php echo $textcolor?>;
}
