[theme-reviewers] CSS in a PHP file

[Daniel Tara]

You can use the add_inline_style function and assign it the handle of the parent theme. That way the custom CSS will be printed precisely after the parent theme's stylesheet link and before the child theme's stylesheet link (assuming the parent theme's stylesheet has been correctly added as a dependency of the child theme's stylesheet)
