[users@httpd] Text substitution on output

[Igor Leturia <IG...@emun.com>]

  Hi all!

  I've got some pages in Apache and I need the server to make some
substitutions on the content of the pages when serving them (for
example, changing the text "user" for "Igor"). How can I achieve this?

  Thanks in advance,

						Igor Leturia

If you can modify the pages, then the way to go is some kind of dynamic page
generation mechanism, such as PHP or mod_include (as was already suggested)
These mechanisms allow you to replace all references to user with something
like:  <% echo $user %>  You can then define at the beggining of the page 
something similar to <% $user = "Igor" %>

Howver, if you cannot modify the page content, and you are running Apache 2,
you can use the filtering framework and write a program that does
the substitution. For example you can do this with mod_perl filtering
capabilities or with external filters:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_ext_filter.html

I don't know how fancy you want to get with it, but you could easily do
some simple CGI to achieve this.  Mail me off-list
dave@virtualimpressions.com if you would like to give this a shot and
I'll give you some simple examples in PERL.
