What are the potential pitfalls of storing CSS properties in a database and how can they be avoided when using PHP?

Storing CSS properties in a database can lead to slower loading times and increased complexity in managing styles. To avoid these pitfalls, consider using a caching mechanism to store the CSS properties locally in PHP and only update the database when necessary. 

// Retrieve CSS properties from the database or cache
$css_properties = get_css_properties();

// If cached properties are not available or outdated, fetch from the database
function get_css_properties() {
    $cached_properties = get_cached_properties();
    
    if ($cached_properties) {
        return $cached_properties;
    } else {
        $db_properties = fetch_from_database();
        save_to_cache($db_properties);
        return $db_properties;
    }
}

// Save fetched CSS properties to cache
function save_to_cache($properties) {
    // Save properties to cache
}

// Get cached CSS properties
function get_cached_properties() {
    // Retrieve properties from cache
}
