apache_getenv
bug: with apache 2, apache_lookup_uri("/directory") spits out a warning and fails to return anything. apache_lookup_uri("/directory/") works.
another bug: virtual("something") forces a header flush. I know it's documented, but it would be rather wonderful if it didn't do this. You never ever want to flush headers when you're using virtual() to include a dynamic file such as a PHP or Perl file, which excludes virtual() from being used on most of any website's contents :-(.
apache_lookup_uri
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
apache_lookup_uri — Perform a partial request for the specified URI and return all info about it
Description
object apache_lookup_uri
( string $filename
)
This performs a partial request for a URI. It goes just far enough to obtain all the important information about the given resource.
This function is only supported when PHP is installed as an Apache module.
Parameters
- filename
-
The filename (URI) that's being requested.
Return Values
An object of related URI information. The properties of this object are:
- status
- the_request
- status_line
- method
- content_type
- handler
- uri
- filename
- path_info
- args
- boundary
- no_cache
- no_local_copy
- allowed
- send_bodyct
- bytes_sent
- byterange
- clength
- unparsed_uri
- mtime
- request_time
Examples
Example #1 apache_lookup_uri() example
<?php
$info = apache_lookup_uri('index.php?var=value');
print_r($info);
if (file_exists($info->filename)) {
echo 'file exists!';
}
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
stdClass Object ( [status] => 200 [the_request] => GET /dir/file.php HTTP/1.1 [method] => GET [mtime] => 0 [clength] => 0 [chunked] => 0 [content_type] => application/x-httpd-php [no_cache] => 0 [no_local_copy] => 1 [unparsed_uri] => /dir/index.php?var=value [uri] => /dir/index.php [filename] => /home/htdocs/dir/index.php [args] => var=value [allowed] => 0 [sent_bodyct] => 0 [bytes_sent] => 0 [request_time] => 1074282764 ) file exists!

A useful feature is that if you have content negotiation on (Options MultiViews) Apache will resolve the negotiation for you if possible. Thus www.example.com/blah will resolve to /base/blah.php or /base/blah.html or even /base/blah.en.html as appropriate.
