ssi QUERY_STRING

How do you pass more than 1 value?

[ILLstyle]

I'm trying to pass multiple values from a webpage to a .shtml ssi page.

the end of my link looks something like this

webpage.shtml?a=value1&b=value2 or webpage.shtml?value1,value2

After I do that I need to separate the values so I can use them.

any ideas?

no SSI experts in the house?

webpage.shtml?a=value1&b=value2 or webpage.shtml?value1,value2

After I do that I need to separate the values so I can use them.

Use the first form with a virtual include:

<!--#include virtual="webpage.shtml?a=value1&b=value2" -->

Then process that as you would process form submitted values in any other CGI script.

bird, Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate the help.

Im still having problems processing the 2 values.

Normally in other CGI scripts I would need a loop to parse the string and split up the values.

I don't know how to do this using SSI.

Your script won't know that it was invoked through SSI. Just do what you would normally do in there.

I don't want to use an out side CGI script, just SSI
to parse the string.
can it be done?

Use regular expressions to parse out the values you want to assign to your SSI vars: [devpapers.com...]
