使用Sinatra / Rack（在MiddlemanApp中）将PHP文件作为静态文本/ html提供吗？

Question

I'm fairly new to Ruby/Sinatra/Rack. Been using MiddlemanApp for a couple months.

I have a need for a couple of PHP pages in my middleman static site. And I'd like to be able to preview those pages in the browser while running middleman server . I don't need the PHP file to be parsed or processed , just served up as is in the preview server and with a Content-type of text/html.

In an Apache config, it's easy to tell Apache to treat a given file extension as another type of file. But I don't know where to even start on this in Sinatra/Middleman/Rack.

So:

Can I set Sinatra or Rack to serve up PHP files as static HTML? I don't want or expect Sinatra/Rack to parse the PHP. I just want the PHP embedded/untouched as static HTML when running middleman server .

I know that I can run middleman build and use Apache to serve and parse those files, but it's simply tedious to middleman build every 20 seconds.

EDIT

Ok, so I do realize that the above IS the default behavior. I'll amend my question to this:

• How do I get Sinatra in Middleman App to serve index.php as the index file in the preview server?

Say I have source/test/index.php.erb and no source/test/index.html.erb . I'd like middleman server to serve up the /test/index.php on requests for /test/.

Not exactly sure what your question is, but do you mean something like this?

get '/test' do 
  erb :'test/index.php'
end

Where you have a file named index.php.erb in your views/test folder
