[support] Different stylesheet based on path

[Jody Cleveland]

I just can't seem to get this to work... I've tried this:

function salamander_preprocess_page(&$variables) {
  $front_style = path_to_theme() .'/front-page.css';
  $path_style = path_to_theme() .'/path-'. arg(0) .'.css';

  if (file_exists($front_style) && $variables['is_front']) {
    $include_style = $front_style;
  }
  elseif (file_exists($path_style)) {
    $include_style = $path_style;
  }

  if (isset($include_style)) {
    drupal_add_css($include_style, 'theme', 'all', FALSE);
    $variables['styles'] = drupal_get_css();
  }
}

Cleared the site cache, refreshed pages, and I don't see anything added to
the header. I'm guessing there should be something like:
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="all"
href="/sites/beta.menashalibrary.org/themes/salamander/path-xxx.css" />

I also tried this:

  //explode() will split the given string with another string and put the
pieces into an array
  $path_pieces = explode('/', drupal_get_path_alias($_GET['q']));

  //so if your path is /abc/def, $path_pieces is now like Array ( [0] => abc
[1] => def )

  //Therefore, $path_pieces[0] prints 'abc' that you wanted
  print $path_pieces[0];

And, when I view the source, I don't see anything containing node/xxx

So, I'm really stumped. I am supposed to be adding these to template.php of
the theme I'm using, right? Basically, I want all page urls that are teens/*
to use the teens.css file I have in my theme.
