I am working on a Thematic child theme.

I have created some custom options for my child theme (that can be changed by the user, like the Thematic options). It is working fine when I call "get_option()" in any php code called when Wordpress is rendering a blog page.

I also want to get the value of these options in my "custom.css.php", which is used in place of "custom.css". The options are for things like: font, background colour, and so on.

I am not sure what Wordpress php files I need to include to get "get_option()" to work.
When I include "../../../wp-includes/functions.php", I get an error that "apply_filters()" is not defined. I am not sure what is the minimum set of files I should include to make "get_option" work.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

define('WP_USE_THEMES', false); require('../../../wp-blog-header.php');

AFTER the header is loaded, make sure to set the content type to css:

header('content-type:text/css');
