Parse CSS file when browser load

Question

So I've been playing around with htaccess for Windows Apache, and I wanted to do some minimal parsing of CSS files when it's requested (somewhat like LESS/SASS but with only variables since I don't want to use lots of server resources for every CSS load.)

I tried changing this line in my file:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

To:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !.(ico,js,jpg,gif,png)$

But that's making all my other files get redirected through my PHP framework, making the output of the document end up being a HTML document, and throws a bunch of exceptions in the Chrome Dev Tools, am I writing this wrong?

The way this is meant to work is Request CSS file from index load > PHP picks it up in framework router > file_get_contents File and parse > Output file after parse & exit

Thanks. :)

If you just want the redirect to happen for CSS files, you can have RewriteRule apply only when there is a .css extension:

RewriteRule ^(.*\.)css$ $1php

For the redirect, what file is it being redirected to?

It should redirect to the same path with the extension changed from .css to .php.
