Prevent CSS Caching

WordPress:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); echo '?' . filemtime( get_stylesheet_directory() . '/style.css'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />

bbPress:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bb_stylesheet_uri(); echo '?' . filemtime( bb_get_active_theme_directory() . '/style.css'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />

Adds stylesheet with time of last update. If the number changes the browser updates the CSS instead of using cached version. Easily amended to be none WP specific.

    In WordPress,

    filemtime(get_bloginfo( 'stylesheet_url' ));

    Will fail, apparently because get_bloginfo('sylesheet_url') returns an absolute path and that upsets the filemtime() function.
