apache_note — Get and set apache request notes
apache_note ( string $note_name ) : string
apache_note ( string $note_name , string $note_value ) : string
This function is a wrapper for Apache's table_get and table_set. It edits the table of notes that exists during a request. The table's purpose is to allow Apache modules to communicate.
The main use for apache_note() is to pass information from one module to another within the same request.
note_name
The name of the note.
note_value
The value of the note.
If called with one argument, it returns the current value of note note_name. If called with two arguments, it sets the value of note note_name to note_value and returns the previous value of note note_name. If the note cannot be retrieved, false is returned.
Example #1 Passing information between PHP and Perl
<?php
apache_note('name', 'Fredrik Ekengren');
// Call perl script
virtual("/perl/some_script.pl");
$result = apache_note("resultdata");
?> # Get Apache request object
my $r = Apache->request()->main();
# Get passed data
my $name = $r->notes('name');
# some processing
# Pass result back to PHP
$r->notes('resultdata', $result); Example #2 Logging values in access.log
<?php
apache_note('sessionID', session_id());
?> # "%{sessionID}n" can be used in the LogFormat directive
