apache_note() does not work on requests to a symlink, only on actual files.  Eg. if index.php is symlinked to login.php, then any apache_note() in login.php will not be available to other apache modules such as logging.

Used this with mod_layout... very handy. :) Used my PHP code in my header to check session variables and validate the session. If the session is not valid, I use apache_note to tell mod_layout not to display the content page or the footer, just the error page I generate in the header page.





Note: successive calls to apache_note with the same KEY overwrite the VALUE. Ie:





                apache_note("LAYOUT","originoff");


                apache_note("LAYOUT","footeroff");





Will only send the last note. You need to do something like:





                apache_note("LAYOUT","originoff");


                apache_note("LAYOUT-2","footeroff");





To get both variables through. How you retrieve this is obviously up to the module receiving notes, of course...

In a project I was involved in, we needed to pass data from mod_php4 to mod_perl. We used apache_note() to do the work for us.





It took a little while to figure it out, but here's some sample code that could help anyone with the same problem.





From PHP file:





<?


apache_note("name", $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS["User"]);





// Put all post variables into apache notes


while (list($key,$value) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS))


  apache_note($key, $value);





// Call perl script


virtual("/perl/some_script.pl");


$result = apache_note("resultdata");


?>





From Perl file:





# Get Apache request object


my $r = Apache->request()->main();





# Get passed data


my $name = $r->notes('name');


my $more_data = $r->notes('more_data');





# some processing





# Pass result back to PHP


$r->notes('resultdata', $result);

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.  Here are some


further details I found in the mailing list archives:

The main use for apache_note() is to pass information


from one module to another within the same request.  I haven`t seen an


actual implementation that uses this yet, but it is quite possible for


someone to write a module which performs some sort of action at one of the


other stages of the request and stores some information in the Apache note


table which will then be available to PHP when the request reaches the


content-handling stage.  Or, one could have a logging module that reads


something from the Apache Note table set by PHP.

apache_note(`sessionID`,$sessionID);

(where $sessionID has been slurped out of a cookie and processed)

and then, in my httpd.conf, part of my LogFormat is


<P>


"%{sessionID}n"

so that sessionID gets written to the logfile.

If you have other modules that process the request before or after PHP


does (authentication, fixups, whatever..) you can have them talk to PHP or


PHP talk to them through the notes table.
