SSI for PHP?

[Cold Steel]

It was possible to include a CGI script in a page with SSI.

Is there an equivalent for PHP?

[Martin]

we came up with the passthru(string,int) function as a possible means of pulling a CGI srpipt into a PHP page, but I don't know if anyone has tried it yet.

I won't have my board set up till late afternoon, but if you beat me to this, let me know?

If you are runnning PHP as an Apache module, you can use the virtual function too.

John,

Can the virtual function be used only in the parsed headers and footers or on any other template also?

It can just be used in parsed headers and footers. However, if you create a variable in the headers, this can then be used in almost any template. For example, if you have in the header:

$mytext="Hello World";

You can use the $mytext variable in most of the templates.
