http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35350 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007-05-04 10:30 ------- mod_define does not allow IfDefine to test against defined values. It appears to be, in essence, very similar to mod_macro(though apparently incompatible). For quite different reasons, I could see the need to define a value to be later tested against IfDefine to ensure configuration sections are not repeated or somehow made redundant. This is especially useful when using something like mod_macro or perhaps multiple configuration files. <IfModule mod_macro.c> <Macro VHost $addr $port $dir> <IfDefine !HAVE_$addr_$port> Define HAVE_$addr_$port Listen $addr:$port </IfDefine> ... </Macro> </IfModule> A special example would be in the case of scripts and automated configuration(e.g. web-based administration panels and the like). The simple ability to declare a variable to be tested elsewhere in the configuration and acted upon appropriately would be ideal. An extension to this may be able to test against specific values(If FOO=BAR) or offer alternatives(If..Else constructs), though that is likely a whole different subject at this point. Though I do understand the desire to not turn the Apache configuration file syntax into a full-blown programming language, it would be nice to not have to resort to an actual programming language(i.e. mod_perl) for something that should be otherwise relatively simple. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
