Default MIME-Type

[phpmlx]

I run Apache 2.2 and PHP 5.2.5 on Windows.

 

I have started using PHP to generate dynamic css and images. 

 

In Apache I have added the line

AddType application/x-httpd-php .css

In PHP I have set

default_mimetype="";

 

This now works fine.  However, (and obviously), no content type is sent for any PHP processed file (css, php etc).  This is generally not a problem, but I would like to be able to set a default so that ALL ".css" automatically get mimetype=text/css and all ".php" get mimetype=text/html unless specified otherwise.

 

In otherwords, is it possible to make the default_mimetype configuration extension sensitive?

 

(I am aware of the

header("Content-Type:")

php function but do not want to specify mime-types in each file....

 

Any help / guidance appreciated!

Chrs, Alan

you need to use templates first you create your header info then add it to the index page with a include("header.php");

 

with the header page you add your mime types.................

 

you also add your css to the header/index page..........

Thank you for the suggestion.

 

I assume by templates you're suggesting building the website using templates.  That is fine (and what I do anyway) but not how I want to go ahead with this!

 

I was wondering if PHP has any method to automatically detect and send the correct default_mimetype?  Similar to Apache's AddType configuration (which was the only way I could determine of processing CSS extension files with PHP).

 

Hope this is possible!
