auto_prepend

Anon

I had the following line in a .htaccess file for my site

php3_auto_prepend_file "/www/data.inc"

This worked fine under php3. Now I've upgraded to php4 it doesn't work. I've tried removing the 3.

Should I add 4 or is there something else that I need to do?

Thanks

Change it to:

PHP_value auto_prepend_file "/www/data.inc"

Tried several combinations and variations on the above and still no joy.

You must make sure that along with the:

php_value auto_prepend_file "filename"

directive, you need to specify the:

php_value include_path "/path/to/file"

directive, as well. And, you must make sure that the document you're requesting is invoking PHP on the server (i.e. if your server doesn't use PHP to process ".html" files, then you will not be able to "auto_prepend" anything to files ending in ".html".

Yes, thanx for this tip!
I used the following code in my .htaccess file.
PHP_value auto_prepend_file "/path/to/my/filename.php"

I am using PHP4.

Will this work if someone tries to access an image?

I just tried to access an image that I had previously bookmarked within the secured zone. It did not ask me for a username and password. That's somewhat of a problem....although they would have to know what they are looking for. I guess it works OK for my needs. Thanx for the insight.
