According to this[1] mod_actions is available for Apache 1.1+. I'm
using them with 1.3.something right now, so that sounds about right.

They're no good with PHP-CGI, though; you get the dreaded "no input
file specified" error. I couldn't work out a way around that.

    <?php
    // markup.php
    require_once('markdown.php');

    if (! $file = file_get_contents(
stripslashes($_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED']) )) {
        // something has gone wrong; issue an error
    }
    // include header etc...

    echo markdown($file);

    // footer
    ?>

And in .htaccess (etc.) --

    AddHandler markup .text
    Action markup /markup.php
    DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index.text
