.htaccess rewrite image file to php script

How can I execute a PHP script when a user visits a page/file that is not a PHP file?

For example, if they visited a .css file, how would I make it so that I could execute php code before they got access to it?

Answer 1

This is a more simplistic approach, but you can have PHP output the CSS and configure the server to parse CSS files as PHP files:

So, if you’re using Apache, you’d do something like this:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .css

Then, in your CSS file, do this:

<?php
// Code to execute because user is accessing CSS file

// Output CSS below here
header("Content-type: text/css"); 
?>
body {
}
