You might try PHP's auto_prepend_file:

  auto_prepend_file  string

    Specifies the name of a file that is automatically parsed before 
the main file. The file is included as if it was called with the 
require() function, so include_path is used.

    The special value none disables auto-prepending.

This allows you to run some PHP code before any script in the directory 
you set it for is run. It will only work for documents which PHP is set 
to parse, of course, so it won't help out for requests for other objects 
like images.

Cheers,
