RE: [PHP] PHP and Xbithack ?

You don't need to set the xbithack style. You can set a cgi to run if no index file is found in the .htaccess file. That cgi can then grab its path from PATH_INFO and run accordingly. I do that exact thing in my pictures section on the shanghaiguide - shanghaiguide.com/pics There is a .htaccess file pointing to a php file in the pictures directory (readdir.php3), it checks the path_info and outputs html based on the current directory (in my case with pictures). I can give you more info tomorrow if you need (not at *my* computer at the moment) -----Original Message----- From: pgregg-php@niweb.com [mailto:pgregg-php@niweb.com] Sent: October 3, 2000 6:24 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] PHP and Xbithack ? Purely for cosmetic reasons, but... Has anyone provided a way for PHP to be executed based upon the executable bits of the filename. Exactly like apache/mod_include's XBitHack directive. I don't want to put the files in a cgi directory or write the programs as a php cgi - I'd like to create a file called e.g. directory (no extension) set executable on it and then be able to call: http://www.mydom.com/directory/Category/SubCategory/etc/etc which would parse directory as PHP and then have PATH_INFO = "/directory/Category/SubCategory/etc/etc" If I call the file directory.php then the above happens... I'd be nice for some purposes to be able to drop the ".php" extension and an "XBitHack" seems to be a good way to do it.
