Server-Side Includes


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?


To display the current date and time:


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


To display the last modified date of a web page:


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" -->


To include a document inside another:


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


To execute a CGI script or command directly from a web page:


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
