I can do what I want in php, but there may be a better faster Apache solution:
| Code: |
<directory /var/www/html>
$basename = base of any html $url file request;
If (age $url file request < age $basename.tpl)
run perl retemplate.pl $basename.tpl
Now serve $url file request
<directory>
|
Is there a common way to do this? Advice appreciated. |

I suggest using mod rewrite. There are some example over forum.
If you still have a question please ask again. |

thank you, james.
I looked through the 10 pages that come up when I search the site for mod-rewrite. closest I saw is the "file exists" condition in your answer in https://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=17632 .
I could see neither an example of the basename extraction, nor an example of how to trigger not rewriting to another filename, but pausing to run the retemplation script on the filename, and then trying the original a second time.
it would seem like a fairly standard task. if this is complex, I could always fall back to php, of course... |

I would use a scripting language, too and rewrite only the html to that script, since I don't know of the check the age of a file with apache.
| Code: |
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*\.htm)$ index.php/$1
|
I wonder why you want to use php since template engine seems to run on perl.
If the regex above is not what you want you can use https://regexper.com/#^%28.*\.htm%29%24 to find the best one for your needs.
To check the file age it might work with
| Code: | | <If "%{LAST_MODIFIED} |
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/de/expr.html But I never tried that before. |
