I'm calling for some script which displays info according to category.
This is how i do it :
<!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/info_by_category.pl"-->
It works , but currently it always displays the same default category.
Now , the problem : I dont know what category i gonna use. It comes through URL , because the URL looks like this :
www.mydomain.com/info.html?category=1
where the number "1" can be any number from 0-9.
The perl script cant retrieve this info through
$ENV{'QUERY_STRING'}
because i call the script without any parameters.
I'd like somehow to add category number when calling
the script IN RUNTIME (!)
<!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/info_by_category.pl?category=x"-->
where the "x" is category number passed in URL ,
but dont know if its possible.
Help needed!
Thanks in advance
I tried adding it with JavaScript but id didnt work out ;(
<html>
<head><title>test SSI</title></head>
<body>
<div><!--#set var="which" value="$QUERY_STRING" --> </div>
<div><!--#echo var="which" --></div>
</body>
</html>
Append the variable to your script call.

Its pretty clear that i can display query string in THE SAME page. The question is how can i pass it to my script.
Can i use smth like
html>
<head><title>test SSI</title></head>
<body>
<div><!--#set var="which" value="$QUERY_STRING" --> </div>
<div><!--#echo var="which" --></div>
<!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/info_by_category.pl?category="which""-->
</body>
</html>
What's the correct syntax for it?
Thanks , it helped!
I use such call now (with your help) :
<!--#set var="category" value="$QUERY_STRING" -->
<!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/info_by_category.pl?$category"-->
:)
