Retrieves stylesheet directory URI for the active theme.

string URI to active theme's stylesheet directory.

• The returned URI does not contain a trailing slash.
• This function returns a properly-formed URI; in other words, it will be a web-address (starting with http:// or https:// for SSL). As such, it is most appropriately used for links, referencing additional stylesheets, or probably most commonly, images.
• In the event a child theme is being used, this function will return the child’s theme directory URI. Use get_template_directory_uri() to avoid being overridden by a child theme.
• If you want to include a local file in PHP, use get_stylesheet_directory() instead.
