Re: execute a script on access to a directory

You can make "go" the name of your PHP script, then put this in your Apache config: <Location /go> ForceType application/x-httpd-php </Location> Now in your "go" script, you have it do whatever you wanted it to do, then use an include to load the "getit" script. Here's an except from my equivalent of your 'go' script: // $PATH_INFO = the rest of the URI after dmb/ // (in "http://www.minarets.net/dmb/trading/toptraders") // remove anything other than letters, numbers, dots, underscores, // and dashes, and put into an array // for example "trading/toptraders" will be an array consisting // of "trading" ($args[1]) and "toptraders" ($args[2]). The / is discarded. ereg("(^[-_.\/a-zA-Z0-9]*$)", $PATH_INFO, $arg); $args = split( "/", $arg[1]); $file = "include/" . $args[1] . ".inc"; if (file_exists($file)) { include "$file"; } else { ?> 404 not found <? } Note the line that sets the value of $file. In this case, your 'getit' script is in the "include" directory, not the "go" directory. (You can't have a directory named 'go' since you now have a script named 'go'.)
