.htaccess equivilent for PHP as CGI?

[bidllc]

What I want to do is use the .htaccess directive to force a particular file to be included with every request. Becasue my host is set up using PHP as CGI I am told I can't use this option. What else can I do here?

I have tons of files, and I simply want to include a particular file on every request. And I obviously don't want to have to edit each file...

TIA,

Rich

Try setting

php_auto_prepend_file /path/to/file.php

PHP has a seemingly rarely used, but incredibly useful value in php.ini called auto_prepend_file which automatically adds a file to beggining of every script.

LordShryku,

Thanks, I haven't tried 'php_auto_prepend_file' yet. I have tried php_value auto_prepend_file which hasn't worked and I thought it was because PHP is running as CGI, but I'll give that a whirl.

Thanks.
