i want to parse .wml sites with php, the problem is the default 
header.

when i not have added 
AddType application/x-httpd-php .wml 
in the httpd.conf, then everything its fine and apache returned
the korrekt header in pure .wml sites (without php stuff).
my mimetype entry 
text/vnd.wap.wml                wml  
works in this case.

when i add
AddType application/x-httpd-php .wml 
to the apache config, the mimetype settings are useless :-(
apache sends by default text/html and i have to rework als .wml 
sites and have to add a line at first::
<?php header("Content-Type: text/vnd.wap.wml");?>
thats very bad, if i have lots of such sites, which were at first 
plain wml.

i wanted to rename all .php sites to .wml, if they produce wml 
code, because i want to avoid problems with wap browsers 
which are looking for the filepostfix...
imho should php set the header using mimetypes settings.

You can use this php.ini directive to set the 
mimetype:

default_mimetype = text/vnd.wap.wml

This can also be set within httpd.conf / .htaccess files:

php_value default_mimetype text/vnd.wap.wml

And what about WWW servers used for HTML(php) and WML(php)(simultaneously)?
Setting default_mimetype to WML allocating server ONLY for WML(php)

is it possible to use variables in header function.

Eg. header("Location :" . $refpage);

where refpage contains the referer to a page ie., the complete path like "http:\\test\seethis.php";

will this work.
