Re: include virtual, file or exec cgi?

virtual (PHP 3, PHP 4 ) Perform an Apache sub-request int virtual (string filename) Virtual() is an Apache-specific function which is equivalent to <!–#include virtual...–> in mod_include. It performs an Apache sub-request. It is useful for including CGI scripts or .shtml files, or anything else that you would parse through Apache. Note that for a CGI script, the script must generate valid CGI headers. At the minimum that means it must generate a Content-type header. For PHP files, you need to use include() or require(); virtual() cannot be used to include a document which is itself a PHP file. At 04:50 PM 3/21/01 -0300, Christian Dechery wrote:

When I first started playing with PHP I had been using SSI's. I tried to find a way that I could get a file that contained SSI's and php to be parsed, but I haven't seen it done. In Apache it seems like it would be as easy as adding a handler that parses shtml files as php files, but that causes the SSI and/or the PHP parser not to run. so... what you're saying is that I can't have a PHP file <#--include-->'ed in a regular server parsed html file? it doesn't work? I can have included C and Perl stuff but not PHP? Well I gotta tell ya, that sucks! :(
