Re: mod_rewrite

You could also do something like this: Configure Apache so that *every* request on a virtual host would be handled by a single PHP script. <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName myserver.mydomain.org DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/myserver Action php-parse /path-to/script.php Action php-parse /path-to/script.php SetHandler php-parse <Location "/path-to/script.php"> SetHandler "application/x-httpd-php" </Location> </VirtualHost> Every request (whether the file exists or not) is handled by /path-to/script.php. Note that this means that gifs/jpgs also get run through this... On Wed, 17 Apr 2002, [ rswfire ] wrote: > I could really use your help with this.
