Andre thank you very much for your response.
I think that putting mod_php (if it is possible) as an output filter is
the only solution
to my project.

Is running PHP as a filter deprecated? That'd be an option.
Sorry can you explain better. Thanks
Let me roll back a little bit, and then get back to Erik's question
above.
Basically, there can only be one Apache "response generator" module.
There can be "input" filters before : they filter the HTTP request and
can do something to the request, but not to the result yet, because it
is not yet created.
Then there is one "response generator". That is the one which
(usually) gets the basic document from disk (or creates it from
scratch), modifies it or not, and produces the HTTP response.
Then there can be more "output" filters, which act on the response
already produced by the response generator above, and can modify it
some more.
I am unfamiliar with mod_php, but I imagine that it usually functions
itself like the "response genrator" above. Thus, it picks up a
document from disk, examines it to see if it contains any php to
process, and if yes it processes this php and modifies the original
document accordingly. Then it sends out the result as an HTTP response.
If that is how it works, then it is going to be difficult for you to
insert something else before it. Because then, your module would have
to pick up the page from disk, do something to it, and then figure out
a way to pass that modified document to mod_php to process. But
mod_php wants to pick up the original from disk also, so you have a
problem.
On the other hand, if mod_php, like Erik mentions above, can also be
configured to work as an output filter (instead of as the content
generator), then this may be the solution.
Your module could then be "content generator" : pick up the original
document from disk, produce a HTTP response, and that response would
then be processed by mod_php acting as an output filter.
Got it ?
Now you have to check yourself if mod_php /can/ be configured to work
as an output filter, like Erik seems to hint that it can, or could.
