Is it possible to configure Apache to do the following

I have a server which receives small amount of data from loads of wireless devices (data is small just latitude, longitude, direction and then an 0 or 1). Each device is sending a request every 0.5 seconds and then some more depending on certain events that happen.

now the server records that data and stores it in a db. I do this via a php script. the php script outputs nothing but the server still returns the nothing along with the usual header. Now I was wondering if it is possible to tell apache not to send any responses if a certain php file is requested.

Hope I managed to give enough information. If not just ask.

Thanks in advance for any suggestion. 

 

I'm not sure if you can remove the header completely. However, you can at least manipulate it a lot if mod_headers is installed on your Apache.
I think header unset would be the basic option.
If you wrap this into a <Location> tag that matches the PHP file you do not want to return anything, you might get the result you want.
You can put this into a .htaccess file to test it out.

 

The probably won't help, but when ran from the command line you can pass -q to suppress header info
