The auto-prepend thing can be set per-site if you put it in the apache.conf 
file, and possibly per-directory as well (haven't tried it) if put in 
.htaccess files.

Miguel,

I mean that the variables will never change per Virtual host but that the
site is a template for many sites and these vars are part of the distinction
for each site / Virtual Host.

So far the suggestions of using the  auto-prepend  in the php.ini have not
seemed to cater for this. Can you help further?

-- ORIGINAL MESSAGE --

Is it possible using php on our own apache server to create global variables
for virtual host without having to use session variables.

We would like to have three variables that are constant for each virtual
host and that are available from every page, I thought it would be possible
with htaccess or http.conf but am struggling to find documentation for it.

Thanks,

Zac

When you say "that are constant" do you mean that they never change or 
just that they are the same for each page at any given time? 

If you need dynamic variables shared between all your pages, you're going 
to have to either use a database or shared memory as documented at:

In php.ini there is a setting called "auto_prepend_file". Set it to whatever 
file you want then in that file define your 'global variables'.

Jason,

Could you expand on this a little more? I've tried searching for
auto-prepend in both php documentation and apache and cannot find anything
thats relates to our needs.

Thanks for your help

I'm not sure about at a htaccess level, but at a php.ini level I believe you
can set a file to "always include" at the top of every php page.  This file
could simply be:



Not sure on the specifics, but it was discussed on the list in the last two
weeks, and i'm sure there is documentation for the php.ini file IN the the
php.ini file, and on the website.

Use an auto-prepend file.
