I generally try to avoid using PHP Conditionals inside of CSS; especially inline CSS (CSS that is on the same page).

I would keep your CSS in its own CSS file and use the PHP conditional to either add a "hide" class to the DIV -OR- not echo the DIV at all.

    
class="hide">
       Foo bar
    

or alternatively

    

       Foo bar
    

or

    
    

       Foo bar
    
    

Many times the div needs to be outputted so it can be re-displayed using JavaScript (e.g. carousels, sliders, etc.)
