PHP can be used to generate more than just HTML content... it can generate PDFs and images, so why not style sheets?
We've looked at how PHP can help keep related styles together in one document as opposed to having separate files cluttering our directories. We've also seen how JavaScript can communicate back to the server so PHP can create a custom style sheet on-the-fly. Yet these are only two examples.
I've once seen an instance where PHP and CSS was used to help smooth the themeing process for an application; the programmer used a separate include file to pair keys and values and then filtered them through the dynamic style sheet.
Really, your own ingenuity is your only limit when it comes to using PHP.
