[RESOLVED] mod_rewrite phpinfo -- working but not listed

Kudose

How can mod_rewrite be working but not shown in phpinfo? Is there anyway to test it's presence outside of phpinfo and .htaccess?

PHP is loaded as a CGI module in Apache.

TIA!

for mod_rewrite to work, it needs to be in a .htaccess or the httpd.conf file under a <Directory> tag.

Thanks, but I already knew that and it isn't what I was asking.

Maybe I should be more clear.

I have a script that needs mod_rewrite enabled if the server is running PHP as a CGI module. I know you can pull the loaded modules from Apache if PHP is loaded as an Apache module, but am not sure how to if it is running as a CGI module.

That' I'm not sure about.

Although snooping around the apache section of php.net I found this usernote:

this function can be used on older php versions using something like "/etc/httpd/httpd.conf" as $fname

<?php

function get_modules ($fname){
   if (is_readable($fname)){
      $fcont = file($fname);
      if (is_array($fcont)){
          foreach ($fcont as $line){
              if (preg_match ("/^LoadModule\s*(\S*)\s*(\S*)/i",$line,$match)){
                  $return[$match[2]] = $match[1];
              }
          }
      }
   }
   return $return;
}

?>

Not the most elegant, but it would work.

Because mod_rewrite has absolutely nothing to do with PHP.

"CGI module" is a mixture of two separate method of installing ([/i]ISAPI module/filter[/i], or CGI binary).

If you are using the ISAPI module/filter method, you can use the function [man]apache_get_modules/man. If you're using the CGI binary... well, then you simply can't do anything (other than parsing the server's .conf file as mentioned above).

Thanks. 🙂
