Apache HTTPD.conf

Hi,

I am looking for some help setting up apache. This may be in the wrong forum, so feel free to move it.

I have go apache working so that it parses PHP pages as well as Server Side Include (SSI) pages. However, i want to be able to parse a .php file for both php and SSI, has anyone managed to get this working before? and, if so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Marc Birkett

Why? Why not just use include() or require()?

After having problems with includes trying to include files that are already included I started using include_once and requires_once rather than just plane include and requires.

Never got round to looking up how much, if any, extra overhead is there. Anyone any ideas?

The require statements are compiler directives and take about as log as opening a file and reading it. The overhead is there, but it's worth it if it improves the structural design of your source.

When I said overhead I meant the difference between requires and requires_once, i.e. the "once" checking.

That's probably 2 bytes of memory and an extra if statement in the php code.

Apache currently cannot send a file through two parsing engines. it would first need to send through the SSI|php interpreter, and then through the other one.

I am not sure what SSI calls you want to make, but everyone can be had in PHP pretty simply.

if you are set on doing something like that, you need to look at the phps virtual command
www.php.net/virtual

As for the overhead between include() and include_once(), there is very little. as one poster said, if it improves the structural integrety if your code, then it is needed.

however, i would also suggest in looking in re-ordering your include statements so you dont run into that problem

I was wanting to return the last current date and the last updated date for a page through SSI.

Would it just be a case of creating a new seperate shtml page and then going:

virtual("currDate.shtml");

??

How do you control the layout of the page??

Cheers,

Marc

Yes,

however, this is something php can easily take care of,

www.php.net/getlastmod

example,
