[PHP] Custom PHP handler using Apache's mod_action
Hi folks, i have a problem using a PHP script as a custom handler in Apache. What i wanna do is this: Whenever a .html file is requested by a browser, i want Apache to call a CGI that outputs a header, then the requested file and then a footer. I want to use PHP for this, as i also want to do some template parsing. Well, basically, this can be done using Apache's mod_action module, where a custom handler can be defined for a certain filetype. This does work correctly. If i request a .html file, the handler is activated. The strange thing is this: PHP does not output anything but the html header! This is my custom handler file: --- #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/php-cgi test.php You see, php-cgi is called to execute test.php, which looks like this: -- So, what i would expect is, that the PHP info page is being sent to the browser, which is not the case. All that is sent back is the .html file i requested. And the strange thing is: If i execute the CGI from commandline, i get all the phpinfo output! It just doesn't work when called by apache! You might think that the handler is not activated at all, but it is, because if i change something in the custom handler config, like spelling the filename wrong, i get a server error. Also, i tried this using php-cgi directly, like this: --- #!/usr/bin/php-cgi phpinfo(); ?> Which just gives me back the exact same results (just the requested .html file). Now for the funny part: I also tried to do this using bash commands, like this: --- #!/bin/bash echo "Content-Type: text/html" echo "" echo "Hello World" This one works!! Hello world is being sent to the browser! I am quite desperate, don't know what's left to try. Any ideas? By the way, i'm using Apache 2.0.40 and PHP 3.3.8.
