Let me roll back a little bit, and then get back to Erik's question above. Basically, there can only be one Apache "response generator" module.There can be "input" filters before : they filter the HTTP request and can do something to the request, but not to the result yet, because it is not yet created.
Then there is one "response generator". That is the one which (usually) gets the basic document from disk (or creates it from scratch), modifies it or not, and produces the HTTP response.
Then there can be more "output" filters, which act on the response already produced by the response generator above, and can modify it some more.
I am unfamiliar with mod_php, but I imagine that it usually functions itself like the "response genrator" above. Thus, it picks up a document from disk, examines it to see if it contains any php to process, and if yes it processes this php and modifies the original document accordingly. Then it sends out the result as an HTTP response.
If that is how it works, then it is going to be difficult for you to insert something else before it. Because then, your module would have to pick up the page from disk, do something to it, and then figure out a way to pass that modified document to mod_php to process. But mod_php wants to pick up the original from disk also, so you have a problem.
On the other hand, if mod_php, like Erik mentions above, can also be configured to work as an output filter (instead of as the content generator), then this may be the solution. Your module could then be "content generator" : pick up the original document from disk, produce a HTTP response, and that response would then be processed by mod_php acting as an output filter.
Got it ?Now you have to check yourself if mod_php /can/ be configured to work as an output filter, like Erik seems to hint that it can, or could.
