this is the 'request_handler'-support patch for php. it applies to php-4.0.6.
  this patch only covers Apache, and currently does not work for anything else.

  to apply the patch:
	 chdir into the base directory of your php-4.0.6 source directory. there,
     enter this command (e.g. cd /tmp/php-4.0.6) :

     patch -p1 < /tmp/request_handler.diff

     where "/tmp/request_handler.diff" is the full path to the diff file.

  after patching, you - of course - need to recompile and reinstall php.


  then, you can use the following to register a request_handler for
  VirtualHosts, Directories, Locations...

  php_value request_handler /www/foo.php

  _EVERY_ request handled by PHP below the directory the request_handler is registered for
  will be passed to your /www/foo.php script (everybody knowing mod_perl is familiar with this);
  everybody else who does not yet know what is mean is welcome to test and experiment with this.
