Call PHP from my module?

[Manfred Rebentisch <mr...@comparat.de>]

Hello,
I use an own apache 2 module (not filter, it is a handler!), written in C, 
using apr. The module handler works on a VHost and generates dynamic HTML 
with database content.

It works fine and I want to enhance the code for using embedded PHP.

If I do the final parsing, writing the bucket brigades, I want to handle 
embedded PHP-Code ( between <?php ... ?> ). Can someone give me a tip, how to 
call PHP at this point?

At the moment I call ap_pass_brigade(apReq->output_filters, bb); where 'bb' is 
the bucket brigade, return OK back to apache.
The I do install with 
ap_hook_handler         (cp_handler, NULL, NULL, APR_HOOK_FIRST);
or
ap_hook_handler         (cp_handler, NULL, NULL, APR_HOOK_MIDDLE);
or
ap_hook_handler         (cp_handler, NULL, NULL, APR_HOOK_LAST);
or
  static const char * const successors[] = {  "mod_php5.c", NULL };
  ap_hook_handler         (cp_handler, NULL, successors, APR_HOOK_FIRST);

with no difference.

Thank you in advance

Manfred

You may have to change the content type to application/x-httpd-php . PHP 
won't parse it without it. I can't remember off of the top of my head 
whether successors is the 2nd param or the third - just ensure that php 
is running AFTER yours, and you should be fine.
