Getting Apache Constants with PHP

[ast3r3x]

I'm working on implementing a secure cookie protocol I've been reading
about, but I've run into a problem. I was hoping some smarter people
than myself here could help me. I need to access an apache constant
(set when using mod_ssl) through PHP, or Perl (but I'd have to get it
back into PHP). Does anyone know how to do this?

I was wondering if you could do something like set a PHP variable from
Apache. It looks like they are doing something like that
http://us3.php.net/configuration.changes when they are setting php
initiation values. That means they talk at least one way, I was hoping
there was a way to send more information. If anyone has any ideas it
would be greatly appreciated, I figure there should be a way to, but I
am not sure exactly how you'd do it.

Thanks in advance!

You can't access them directly with PHP, however using .htaccess, and
a little creative regular expressions, you can get it into PHP.
