I've been re-reading the manual to try to gain a better understanding of filters and handlers, specifically the difference between the two. The reason being - by default, the PHP interpreter is called as a handler (a typical config: "AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .phtml". By implementation INCLUDES is a filter which is enabled using e.g. "AddOutputFilter INCLUDES shtml". I'd like to have my files processed first by the INCLUDES filter, then by the PHP handler. The "AddOutputFilter" option clearly supports this type of sequence. But back to my initial question - what is the functional difference between a handler and a filter? /Per Jessen, Zürich --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
