Autoprepending scripts with Apache

Autoprepending scripts with Apache

[Victor Tsaran]

Hello, listers!
Those of you, who are experts in Apache server administration. Do you know
if there is an option to auto_prepend a certain script to any .html file
parsed by the server? For example, I have a script written in PHP and I want
it to be attached to every .html file of the website. Please note that I
would like to avoid using SSI because this would involve modifying all the
pages on the website.
Would be grateful for any advice.
Victor

Hello

  Action keyword might help, somethin like
action text/html your/script.php
inhttpd.conf

  That script will toutput requested page to its standard input. File
name is at some environment variable, $PATH_TRANSLATED iirc.

Re: Re: Autoprepending scripts with Apache

[Victor Tsaran]

thanks for the message. I found my question partially answered in the
Apache's FAQ.
You are right, the "action" keyword is of much help here. One has to
establish a handler  and use it in conjunction with the "action".
Best and thanks,
Vic

You write:

If your using php, you can just use the php configuration variable
auto_prepend_file. Here's the documentation from the manual at www.php.net

auto_prepend_file
string

Specifies the name of a file that is automatically parsed before the main
file. The file is included as if it was called with the
include()
function, so
include_path
is used.

The special value none disables auto-prepending.

But I think this only works if the "main" file is a .php script.

Re: Re: Autoprepending scripts with Apache

[Rich Caloggero]

Well, what I did to test it is to first, make all html scripts be seen by
the php interpreter by registering .html as a mime type. Add a line like
this to     your httpd.conf file:
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
You don't have to put php code in your .html files. Then php sees all files
that have a .html extension, so the auto_prepend_file configuration variable
gets honored for each file with a .html extension.

Re: Re: Autoprepending scripts with Apache

[Victor Tsaran]

Hi, Rich!
Thanks a lot. But do you think this will not put an additional load on the
server? Does that mean that now every .html file will be parsed for PHP
code?
Woops, I check myself on this: the .html files are parsed for PHP code
already, so, I guess, I should have discarded this message already!!! But
maybe it will answer someone's pending question!
Best regards,
Victor

Re: Re: Autoprepending scripts with Apache

[Rich Caloggero]

Ya, probably the server will have to work a bit harder, but not that much.
Maybe if you were running a high-profile public server which gets thousands
of hits a day, it might be good to optimize a bit, but in most cases, I
think the convenience outweighs the expense. I don't think any files are
parsed by PHP unless their file types are registered as PHP files. If you
tell the server with the AddType that .html files contain (or may contain)
PHP code, then PHP will parse them.

Re: Re: Autoprepending scripts with Apache

[Victor Tsaran]

No, actually, when PHP works as a module, it parses all the .html files.
This is why you can embed PHP code directly into HTML pages.

This is why you can embed PHP code directly into HTML pages.

If you remove the AddType line in you httpd.conf file which associates .php
files with PHP code and then point your server at a document with imbeded
PHP code in it, it will not act on it. To be honest, I'm not sure if it gets
parsed, but I'm pretty sure the PHP module isn't even involved unless
apache, through the AddType mechanism, decides that the file being served is
a PHP file. If it is, then the PHP interpreter gets to deal with it before
the results get served.
