Specify mime type of php file as application/javascript

Question

Is it possible to specify the MIME type of a PHP file as application/javascript? I have a PHP file that outputs some JavaScript. When strict MIME type checking is enabled, the browser reports an error:

"Refused to execute script from *.php' because its MIME type ('text/html') is not executable, and strict MIME type checking is enabled."

Adding this to the PHP file doesn't help:

header("Content-type: application/javascript");

Here is my code:

<?
  header('Content-Type: application/javascript');
  include ("../admin/config.php");
  include ("../custom_functions.php");
?>
var availableTags = ["BBCD"
<? 
  $prods=decode_prods();
  foreach($prods as $key=>$val){  
?>
, "
<?
  $prods[$key][name] = preg_replace("/(\015\012)|(\015)|(\012)/","",$prods[$key][name]); 
  trim($prods[$key][name]);
  $prods[$key][name]= str_replace("&", "and", $prods[$key][name]);
  $prods[$key][name]= str_replace('"', '', $prods[$key][name]);
  echo $prods[$key][name];
?>
"
<? } ?>
];

I tried adding this to .htaccess after reading this post - but it didn't help.

<Files /js/auto.php>
AddType application/javascript .js
</Files>

The code displayed is all the code, correct? The reason I ask is you cannot change headers once output has started. If output isn't started before what's displayed here, then what browser are you using and are you sure the header isn't being changed in your included files? — robere2

@bugfroggy Thats all the code in auto.php. Its called from template file like this: <script type="text/javascript" src="/js/auto.php"></script> — Pete D

That could be your issue. Use application/javascript as text/javascript is deprecated. I don't see why this would cause it but worth a try. — robere2
