wp_admin_css() │ WP 2.3.0

Enqueues or directly prints a stylesheet link to the specified CSS file.

"Intelligently" decides to enqueue or to print the CSS file. If the wp_print_styles action has not yet been called, the CSS file will be enqueued. If the wp_print_styles action has been called, the CSS link will be printed. Printing may be forced by passing true as the $force_echo (second) parameter.

For backward compatibility with WordPress 2.3 calling method: If the $file (first) parameter does not correspond to a registered CSS file, we assume $file is a file relative to wp-admin/ without its ".css" extension. A stylesheet link to that generated URL is printed.

Return

null. Nothing (null).

Usage

wp_admin_css( $file, $force_echo );

$file(string)

Style handle name or file name (without ".css" extension) relative to wp-admin/.
Default: 'wp-admin'

$force_echo(true|false)

Force the stylesheet link to be printed rather than enqueued.
Default: false
