Autoprepending scripts with Apache

[Rich Caloggero]

Ya, probably the server will have to work a bit harder, but not that much.
Maybe if you were running a high-profile public server which gets thousands
of hits a day, it might be good to optimize a bit, but in most cases, I
think the convenience outweighs the expense. I don't think any files are
parsed by PHP unless their file types are registered as PHP files. If you
tell the server with the AddType that .html files contain (or may contain)
PHP code, then PHP will parse them.

Hi, Rich!
Thanks a lot. But do you think this will not put an additional load on the
server? Does that mean that now every .html file will be parsed for PHP
code?
Woops, I check myself on this: the .html files are parsed for PHP code
already, so, I guess, I should have discarded this message already!!! But
maybe it will answer someone's pending question!
Best regards,
Victor
