How to use in your php project

Requests to CSS files are made through LessCacheer:

<link href="LessCacheer/index.php?f=/css/global.css" rel="stylesheet" />

Copy LessCacheer into your project.

Create a config.yml file inside the LessCacheer folder based on the config.sample.yml file.

That's all folk !

Debugging with FireLess

LessCacheer give you a new tool to work with Firebug : Fireless !

FireLess is a Firebug extension that makes Firebug display the Less filenames and line numbers of LessPHP-generated CSS styles rather than those of the generated CSS. This is an adaptation of the Firesass extension developped by Nex3.

First, install FireLess. Second, enable use_fireless inside the config.yml.
