Automated PHP

How could I build a PHP file that runs every time any webpage loads without using includes? I'm looking to build almost like a log script in PHP.

Any direction would be appreciated.

Thanks

dont really understand this question..

If the web server has PHP installed then you would have the .php extition for php files and then you would configure you web server to execute .htm .html .php files as default extitions. You would also make the index scripts index.htm index.html and index.php

Whats the problem?

Just right a page or the main page and save it with a .php extition.

just write the page that has your php at the top of the page then the rest would be your html page in the .php file..

<?
echo "This is a test";
?>

<html>
<body>
this is the html main page
</body>
</html>

I mean like, everytime a page is loaded Apache writes to log files and does a bunch of backend stuff. How do I build a PHP application that can run backend stuff?

I don't want to use includes or requires ... I want every page on every domain on my entire server to have a php script that runs behind the scenes

just put the script you want to run in every single page.

I don't want to use includes or requires .. I want the server to manage how and when this file gets loaded.

planetphp

that hasn't got anything to do with includes or requires... You just embedd the script into every page therefore everytime somoene opens a page the script executes and your counter goes up.

Although that would be bloody crazy to do when you could use an include and have the same script execute on every single page.

I think your talking about making a php script that works from the server side of things. In which case look at another programming language because php isn't the thing to do that.

The only way you could possibly do this is with an include() OR have an image tag on every page which you want to keep track of:

Aside from that, maybe a custom proramming module or something, but at that point you're not looking at just strait PHP, I imagine you'd need C or C++ or something.
