Bug #15133 Updated: SSI

ID: 15133 User updated by: tim.lokot@s1.com.au Reported By: tim.lokot@s1.com.au Old Status: Feedback Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 4.1.1 New Comment: Under IIS you specify what script engine runs your php file. Basically says that all files with extension .php are run by c:/php/php.exe or whatever the executable is. You COULD put the -q in there, but that would apply for all users. Can you specify -q at runtime so that my ISP (or any ISP for that matter) doesn't have to set explicit settings for this? That way it gets left up to the programmer HOW they want their php scripts run. Forcing -q on all users would mean that everyone of the ISP's clients would have to output all the headers just to get their scripts running. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-20 22:08:46] rasmus@php.net "php.exe -q" doesn't work on Windows? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-20 22:04:09] tim.lokot@s1.com.au You kind of understood .... I was aware of the expose setting in the ini file, but it would be nice to be able to modify this at runtime. How can you run that -q command from within a windows environment like IIS? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-20 22:02:26] rasmus@php.net Adding -q is sufficient. No PHP changes needed here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-20 22:00:05] daniel@php.net At least on UN*X systems you can run PHP perfectly as SSI - just do a SSI include <!--#include virtual="phpscript.cgi" --> where phpscript.cgi is a script which first line points to your PHP executable: #!/usr/bin/php which could also be c:\progra~\php\php.exe (I think). Or did I completely misunderstand you? Also the X-Powered-By can be switched off. Either by /usr/bin/php -q which omits all HTTP-headers (such as Content-type and X-Powered-By) or by configuration directive: expose_php = On ; Decides whether PHP may expose the fact that it is installed ; server (e.g., by adding its signature to the Web server header). ; It is no security threat in any way, but it makes it possible ; to determine whether you use PHP on your server or not. Kind Regards, Daniel Lorch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-20 21:43:01] tim.lokot@s1.com.au Is it possible to enable future versions of PHP to be run as an SSI directive so that languages like Perl do not have to be used instead for this purpose? Currently PHP sends out the X-Powered-By headers everytime it's run including all the other default headers making it difficult to run PHP as SSI without having all the headers display to the screen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=15133&edit=1
