Kind of an interesting problem: I am using mod_proxy to reverse proxy a site. In addition I am trying to use PHP as an output filter to do session tracking on the proxy server. PHP by itself as an output filter works fine. But when it is combined with mod_proxy, it does not appear to be called.
I've steered well clear of PHP for some time, so anything I say here may be ill-informed nonsense. But my understanding is that PHP doesn't really work as a filter.
Anyone have any idea why, and is there anything I can tweak to get it to work?
I don't know, but I might be able to suggest alternatives. For example, mod_publisher will give you auto_prepend_file and do a better job than PHP.
<VirtualHost *>
## it works here - the contents of page_prepend.inc are processed with each
request
## note: not using mod_proxy, no proxying for this vhost
##
ServerName search.example.com
DocumentRoot /etc/apache/htdocs
php_value include_path ".:/etc/apache/phpmods"
php_value auto_prepend_file "/etc/apache/page_prepend.inc"
SetOutputFilter PHP
SetInputFilter PHP
</VirtualHost>
Indeed, that looks like evidence of it working in a filter (assuming there are no messages to the contrary in your error log). But could it really be faking it? The difference in a proxy - or with local contents from another dynamic source - is that it's much harder to 'fake it'. Another possibility is that PHP's abuse of Content-Type (originally introduced by Apache but fixed since 199?) is screwing you up. You'd have to ask the php folks about a workaround. -- Nick Kew --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
