Auto prepend PHP file using htaccess relative to htaccess file

Question

I used:

php_value auto_prepend_file \"file.php\"

in my .htaccess that is in public_html folder.

Now when

Answer 1

In your .htaccess

php_value auto_prepend_file /auto_prepend_file.php
php_value auto_append_file /auto_append_file.php

Next create 2 files in root

1) /auto_append_file.php

$appendFile = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/append.php';
require_once($appendFile);

2) /auto_prepend_file.php

$prependFile = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/prepend.php';
require_once($prependFile);

Now it should work on local and live servers irrespective of physical path or website providing each of your websites use the same filenames append.php and prepend.php.
