You could use incrond to launch a script that would run a script when
a file is modified. the script will test the config & if it is ok
restart apache gracefully.
example:
IN_CREATE,IN_MODIFY /path/to/watch /path/to/script
The above incrontab may be wrong, check with manpage.

You can use incrond to fire a script on create/modification event of a
config file that php would be writing to check the config and restart
apache gracefully if test is succesful

Don't.
Consider using mod_vhost_dbd instead. It may do all you need, and
it'll be a startingpoint even if it doesn't.

Lars,
1) http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/vhosts/examples.html
2) Bad idea, unless you can sudo and call apachectl restart

Thank you all for your suggestions,
I will look further into mod_perl and mod_vhost_dbd. I know a little
perl so it might not be that hard!
Thanks.

This, of course, depends on your situation but perl DBI is quite well
documented and fairly easy to use and Perl, as a language, is not that
strange and comparable with php (if you exclude the OOP-parts, avoid OOP
in Perl). As a text processing language, Perl is better than all others
I have seen and vastly superior to php (not that php is exactly bad,
perl is just much better).
But there is, of course, a learning curve.
Just saying......

The problem with using mod_perl is one needs to know perl to a decent
extent or at least db operations in perl. It is a strict requirement.
Where as if you use inotify events to reload the config file when it is
changed, there's no requirement of perl, you can do the automatic config
modifier in your favorite language.
Another idea (may be bad one) is to use a RewriteMap and generate
rewrite maps using php (it would be a highly cpu intensive task for
apache probably, no ideas..never used rewritemap)

mod_perl is designed to do such things. It can do much more of course.
