http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-generalm=105484835424858w=2
That works. I did something similar, not to add headers and footers,
but to implement a simple templating system -- the HTML pages had text
like __FIRSTNAME__ and __LASTNAME__ which had to be replaced with
session variables. The site owner had some very strange ideas about how
they wanted to design their site, and wanted to do the whole thing in
FrontPage, yet customize pages using data from a PHP-based login.
The basic idea is that the customer uploads pages (a few hundred of 'em)
all under their DocumentRoot. I've got stuff like:
$base=http://www.example.com;; // URL *without* trailing backslash
$qu=' . '';
$href=(a href=[$qu ]*)($base)?/?([^$qu ]+\.html?);
$repl=\\1/show.php?what=\\3;
if (!file_exists($f)) {
header(Location: $base/show.php?err=missing%20file:%20$f);
} else
if ($fd=file_get_contents($f)) {
$fd = str_replace(__FIRSTNAME__, $_SESSION['fname'], $fd);
$fd = str_replace(__LISTNAME__, $_SESSION['lname'], $fd);
print $fd;
}
You could of course hide the URLs behind mod_rewrite with something like
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/.+\.php - [L]
RewriteRule ^/(.+\.html) /show.php\?f=$1 [L]
You could also make the arrays of the str_replace search and replace
fields, if you had multiple things to change.
But back to your issue -- Instead of __FIRSTNAME__ and __LASTNAME__,
just manipulate body and /body, as you did with output buffering.
I'm not sure if either solution has a performance edge over the other.
In both cases, each of the HTML and PHP file get loaded once per page
view, and whether the translation happens in PHP's output buffering or
via mod_rewrite is probably insignificant.
As always, multiple solutions to every problem. :)

Re: [PHP] Automatic Headers and Footers
I would have to say yes it can be done. The way *I* would do it is like
this:
First, I would drop a .htaccess file that allows the HTML files to run
through the PHP parser. Like this AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .html
The in all of the HTML docs it would look like this:
-HTML-
-Head-
-Title-This is a test-Title-
-body-
-h1-? include('header.inc'); ?-/h1-
Well, did it work?
-h3-? include('footer.inc'); ?-/h3-
-/body-
-/html-
The next question that comes to mind is, are all the headers and footers
static? Or will they rotate?
You will have to have that php code in your HTML docs, otherwise they
won't know how to add the header and footer.

Is there a way to have php insert headers and/or footers into all of
the html files in a given directory on the fly (not actually modifying
the files)? And by this I mean take an existing valid HTML file and
add headers and footers and end up with a valid HTML file.
Now, before some of you get trigger happy and tell me to read the
manual and point me to things like .htaccess, auto_prepend_file, google
and the like, think about what I'm really asking It needs to
insert the header after the -body- tag and put the footer in before the
-/body- tag. It needs to do this without modifications to the HTML
file.
And yes, I understand that by default HTML files aren't going to be
effected by the auto_prepend_file (since they aren't php files) - so it
will require adding HTML to the list of php parsed file types.
For instance, the goal would be to take the following code:
-HTML-
-Head-
-Title-This is a test-Title-
-body-
Well, did it work?
-/body-
-/html-
and convert it to this:
-HTML-
-Head-
-Title-This is a test-Title-
-body-
-h1-This is a page header-/h1-
Well, did it work?
-h3-This is the footer-/h3-
-/body-
-/html-
Can it be done? I don't think so, but I leave it up to your wiles to
suggest a solution
Thanks!!!

Re: [PHP] Automatic Headers and Footers
Well, my understanding of mod_rewrite is nonexistent (heck, I'm not even sure that's the correct name), but I believe you do the following. Write a php script to parse the file and output it with the added lines you want where you want them. Then setup apache/php to accept something like http://www.yourserver.com/directory/phpscript/yourfile.html where directory is the path to where the files are located, phpscript is the php script (located (in directory)that parses the html files, and yourfile.html is... one of your HTML files. It's not ideal, but it will let you wrap something around existing HTML files without modifying them or their location. --- Wendell Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ok guys, I think I have a challenge for you (actually, I don't think this can be done, but I've been proven wrong every time I've made that assumption with php in the past, so I'll ask anyway).

Yeah, that would work but my goal was to not have to modify the html
files at all. Actually, I figured it out (or at least have it
working). I guess I knew it was possible, but I was hoping for a
miracle cure like add_html_header. :) Anyway, here is what I ended
up doing...
.htaccess
AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm .html
php_value auto_prepend_file header.php
php_value auto_append_file footer.php
header.php
?PHP
ob_start();
?
footer.php
?PHP
$content = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
$header = \nh1This is a page header/h1;
$footer = h3This is the footer/h3\n;
$content = preg_replace( /(body[^]*)/i, $1$header, $content );
$content = preg_replace( /(\/body[^]*)/i, $footer$1, $content
);
echo $content;
?
Any other ideas or simpler ways to do it would be appreciated.

Re: [PHP] Automatic Headers and Footers
Yes it can be done, using the auto-prepend feature call a script that turns output buffering on. Then in the auto-appended script read the buffer a manipulate ith with the automatic header and footer. Thus you modify the content only and achieve what you want without modifying the actual HTML file.
