The whole point of using PHP for creating the CSS is to avoid having to
edit a dozen places in the CSS to change some color for example. Instead
you make use of PHP and variables. Much simpler.

And if you still want a "static" CSS for performance reasons, you have
to preprocess it. Calling a script for doing this is not much work.
Dependent on the used IDE this could even be automated in the build and
upload process.
