htaccess SetEnvIf variable increment

Question

it's possible to increment environment variables in htaccess (example: to count failed logins or access)?

Something like:

RewriteRule ^ - [E=MYVAR:MYVAR+1]

or

SetEnvIf Request_URI "\.gif$" MYVAR=MYVAR+1

Tnx

Short Answer: No you cannot do that in .htaccess alone. It is not a scripting language where you can do maths operations. You will need to do that in your server side scripts.
