also a rather powerful language for being so simple). Just leave your PHP stuff in your documents; Zope will parse out the DTML and return it to the server, which will parse out the PHP stuff and return it to the browser. In fact, you can probably make DTML and PHP work together nicely and simplify much of your PHP code. In the quickie case you don't need to change your PHP.

If this would work (having Apache parse the PHP code in the pages returned by Zope), you would save me a lot of painfull converting working PHP code (mainly database related) and I would gradually convert from PHP/Apache to Zope/Python/Apache.

This can't be done currently. I researched this a while back, trying to get server side includes to work. There's actually an entry in the Apache FAQ about it:

""" 9.How can I have my script output parsed?

So you want to include SSI directives in the output from your CGI script, but can't figure out how to do it? The short answer is "you can't." This is potentially a security liability and, more importantly, it can not be cleanly implemented under the current server API. The best workaround is for your script itself to do what the SSIs would be doing. After all, it's generating the rest of the content.

This is a feature The Apache Group hopes to add in the next major release after 1.3. """

Though this is about SSI, it basically means (I believe) that apache can't take back the output of a CGI for additional module handling.

Well paint me blue and call me a liar. At least it's planned. Michel
