In terms of what they do, both coldfusion and PHP are filters: they take an input page in their own data format, and transform it to an output page. Apache of course supports chaining filters, and what you're asking makes sense and is fully supported in Apache. What you need is versions of these modules that *run* as filters, so the whole setup becomes simple. But that's the province of the developers of those modules, if they can bring them into the 21st century. I wouldn't hold out too much hope from PHP, given their history of resisting advances in Apache, and deep aversion to coexisting with other technologies in the webserver. The alternative would be an ugly and inefficient kludge whereby PHP runs the coldfusion in a subrequest and processess the output of the subrequest. [end cut&paste] > I would like to create a chain like this: > | request -> get.php -> validator.php -> output I don't believe you can do that (though there are snake-oil scripts floating around that claim to validate). You can come pretty close to validating by passing the output through a DTD-based filter: for example http://apache.webthing.com/mod_publisher/dtd.html > With J2EE this was simple because you could stack one filter upon another > without too much hassle. Is there something similar for Apache/PHP? See above.
