[users@httpd] Daisy Chaining Scripts

["SerpentMage (Christian Gross)" <ma...@devspace.com>]

I was trying to find an answer if it is possible to daisy chain scripts 
together.  For example, lets say that a PHP is called, which then needs 
to be processed by a CGI script.  Is that possible.  I looked at filters 
and it seemed that it should be possible, but cannot figure the 
combination to do this.

Thanks

Christian Gross

You can do this by using output filters. That wouldn't be a CGI, though.

If you need to process/filter the output of a PHP document, you can you
mod_ext_filter (http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_ext_filter.html),
or write your own module hooking in the filter chain if you need the
performance.

If you be more specific about what sort of "chaining" you need to do, we'll
be able to give you more specific suggestions.
