Is it possible to configure something on the server that will 'inject' a PHP script above the <head> area of every page?

I have a new script that needs to be added to each page but I'm trying to avoid having to open each page individually.

This may not be possible but it doesn't hurt to ask the experts.

Thanks for your feedback.

Yep.
Use the auto_prepend_file option of the php configuration.
You can specify a script that should be prepended (ie: included before running the php page asked).
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.cor...o-prepend-file

By the way, there is a auto_append_file configuration too, if you want to run it after the page parsing.
Example as in my code (apache virtualhost config):

Code:

...
setEnv LOCATION dev
php_admin_value auto_prepend_file /var/www/webshots/htdocs/libs/prepend/prepend.php
php_admin_value auto_append_file /var/www/webshots/htdocs/libs/append/append.php
...

As I understand the manual, an .htaccess definition should be possible too.

i was wondering the same thing...is this how wordpress is able to load all the configuration files on every page without having include or require lines all over the place?

I think they just include a file which includes a load of other files.
