This sounds like that could be done in PHP - but it would be an AWFUL lot
of work and
fiddle to get right.
I personally wouldn't even consider it unless you had way to hook in
to the final output of PHP.
Possibilities ( not all of them sane ):
* Modify PHP. Add an INI var for turning the feature on and off which
defaults to off.
* Persuade someone at Zend to modify PHP so that a filter function can
be specified which all output text is passed through - would have the
same restrictions as the "header" function
* Call PHP from within PHP or Perl - call the original script directly
using the PHP binary and then parse the text output to create munged
HTML. ( Horribly inefficient )
* Wait until Apache 2.0 allows you to chain outputs.
