Can Apache 2 run mod_perl then php?

Hi,

I think I might of read something somewhere that indicated that
Apache 2 could run multiple application layers before displaying
content. However, I can not find this again, and any information
would be helpful.

Does anyone know if it's possible to have

1) Apache run mod perl (obviously it can)
2) Then take the mod_perl resulting page and parse it using PHP
3) Display the output

Thanks,
Blaine

Not sure but why not just have PHP run a Perl script? If you really want
Perl to generate your PHP then you could have it create a temp file,
return the temp file to PHP, include the temp file, and then remove the
temp file when done.

I know it should be possible. I've never actually done it but I know
the theory and can try to point you in the right direction...

You'd want to compile mod_php as a filter, not a handler, and have
mod_perl run as a response handler. In addition, you'd want to
SetOutputFilter PHP for the request and possible have mod_perl set the
content-type to application/x-httpd-php

Give that a try and see if it does what you want.

I'm still having an issue tying to get this running. Below is what I
have so far, however I believe that the output filter of x-httpd-php
is wrong. I'm not sure where I would find the compiled filter name
for this. Does anyone know?

<Directory "/www/test">
Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks

## Set perl to handle the request
SetHandler perl-script
PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry
PerlOptions +ParseHeaders
Options +ExecCGI
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

AddOutputFilter x-httpd-php html

</Directory>

It's borked - you specified the "x-httpd-php" CONTENT GENERATOR.

You wanted the "PHP" output filter, provided you build and load the
apache2filter sapi. (NOT apache2handler sapi!)
