This is my first post at webmaster world. I have just started a free hosting service for my clients and I want to add a php include just under the body of every page:
e.g. <?PHP include("example.inc");?> but I can't expect my clients to insert this snippet on every page. is there a way through Apache to automatically do a regular expression replace or something like that on all files which are loaded from the server? Thanks in advance...

My host just pointed me to an idea...
Use modrewrite to port request page through a php script with the directory/filename as a query string, then use a regular expression replace to insert the php include just below the <body> tag or if it doesn't exist, below </head> etc.. etc... you get the idea... does anyone know any more elegant ways to achieve the same thing?

ionchannels,

Welcome to WebmasterWorld!

That's the hard way to do it, since php has a built-in feature to add footers and/or headers to each page. I can't recall the exact method, but a post over in our PHP forum [webmasterworld.com] will probably get you a quick answer...

Using .htaccess you can get PHP to prepend (and maybe 'postpend') a file, but inserting it after the body could be tricky.

auto_prepend is in most common webspace not alowed. You can try, but often a 500 internal server error is displayed. :(
