SSI Tutorial

SSI (Server script includes) is a very good thing. It can make a webpage very easy to update. For instance, if you would like to change, say an affiliate on every page, and you had around 100 pages, it would take you a while to do so. SSI elimanates this problem.

The first thing you should do in SSI, is to test to see if your server supports SSI. Geocities, and Tripod both support SSI, incase you're wondering, because I have had my site hosted by both and I use SSI. The best way to test SSI is to put this code in your webpage.

Place between <Body> </Body> tags.

<!--#echo var="DATE_LOCAL"-->

Upload the page to your server, and if done correctly and your server supprots SSI , the code should reproduce the current date and time.
After you have done this, and you are sure your host supports SSI, then you can start using SSI the way it was supposed to be used. Here I will teach you how to include a file in SSI.

The first thing you must do, is go into a text editor like Notepad, and create a simple text file. Save it as whatever you please, but make sure it is saved as a .txt file. After you have done this, upload that file to your server. Next head into your webpage creator, and view the HTML source. Between the <Body> </Body> tags add the following code:

<!--#include virtual="file name.extension" -->

Replace the "file name" with the name that you named your text file, and replace "extension" with txt. Then upload your page to your server and look at the magic you performed.

Hope this helped, and If you have any questions or comments on this tutorial, then you can e-mail me at swabby_scalliwag@hotmail.com.
