Server Side Include (SSI) is a feature
of CGI (in conjunction with your server) that allows
you to dynamically insert a piece of information
including the current date, any HTML file, and
execute CGI/PERL scripts in your web page. The
browser displays the SSI code as if it was hard
coded onto that page.
How can I use SSI on my web pages?
1. Add the following SSI code to
your web page:
<!--#echo var="DATE_LOCAL" -->
2. Save your web page with the extension
.shtml
The result is this:
Thursday, 25-Dec-2001 22:22:32 EDT
1. Add the following SSI code to
your web page:
<!--#flastmod file="web_page_name.shtml" -->
2. Save your web page with the extension
.shtml
The result is this:
Thursday, 07-Marl-2001 16:19:10 EDT
(We used the following code because
this page is called ssi.shtml.)
<!--#flastmod file="ssi.shtml" -->
1. Add the following SSI code anywhere
on your web page: (The included file doesn't have
to be a ".htm" file. It can also be a ".txt" file
(ie: myfile.txt).)
<!--#include file="myfile.htm"-->
2. Save your web page with the extension .shtml
1. Add the following SSI code to
your web page: (Of course, you'll need to change "myscript.cgi" to
the script you're trying to call.)
<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/myscript.cgi"-->
2. Save your web page with the extension
.shtml
