This doesn't really have anything to do with PHP. You are writing an Apache module. You simply have to change the doc_root before Apache gets to the content handling phase of the request_rec. And to change the doc_root I think you'd just fiddle with conf->ap_document_root and it should all fall into place. But again, this has nothing to do with PHP. -Rasmus
