Ssi

links on learning

[4css]

Hi, can anyone point me to some tutorials on server side includes?

Thanks in advance!
(I hope I posted this in the correct area.)

Thank you very much! It looks pretty good.

For threads here at WebmasterWorld, try this search [google.com].

Also, there is the Apache documentation for SSI [httpd.apache.org] which explains things very well.

Thank you encyclo

I did do a search here, but I couldn't really find too much, I waded through about 100+ posts that were discussing things that were a tad above me (here on WebmasterWorld that is).

Is there a difference in the way that includes work depending on where you are hosted? I believe that I am hosted on a unix server. (GoDaddy)

(Only includes I have ever worked with were with frontpage, so this is new to me. And I'm sure that the frontpage ones are a lot different to work with then these are.)

I appreciate the search you did, thank you greatly.

There are differences in the way various servers are set up to handle SSI.

For example on my hosing site the file must use the extension *.shtml or *.shtm for the server to search through it for SSI commands.

The SSI commands are pretty well standardized as in the link to Apache above, but you may have to do different things, depending on how the site administrator set up the site, to get the server to process SSI.

Thanks hyperbole,
It shouldn't be a problem to find out how the server was set up to handle them.

As far as the commands go, if they are all basically similar then I should not have any problems with the links of information.
