auto_prepend/append in htaccess....

I want to prepend a configuration file which is located outside of my
document root into my scripts. I can use auto_prepend_file, but I'm not
sure how do it with an htaccess file or a virtual host entry.. I would
prefer VHost.

Anyway, this is what I am trying/assuming...

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1>
ServerAdmin jvilla@isdesigndev.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/testdomain/www
ServerName testdomain
ErrorLog logs/testdomain-error_log
CustomLog logs/testdomain-access_log combined
<IfModule mod_php4.c>
auto_prepend_file=header.inc
auto_append_file=footer.inc
</IfModule>
</VirtualHost>

Is it possible to append/prepend more than file? Or would be better
to simply include one file and in that file include the others.

What should the file be relative to? Or should it be an absolute value?

I know that constants don't work outside of scripts, but I would like to
make this as smooth as possible.

Anyone have any ideas on this?

I don't think this is possible with auto_prepend_file.

This sounds workable.

It can be a relative pathname, in which case PHP will search its defined
include_path. Absolute pathnames should be okay too.

Thanks for the info, but I was hoping on getting some information as to
why the code configuration I posted is not working.

Because it's incorrect. Try:

php_value auto_prepend_file header.inc
php_value auto_append_file footer.inc
