Hi, I need to use a SSI in my cgi...what do I add to my script to make that possible?

Thanks,

Hi Ryan,

Using SSI inside a cgi script is imposssible, as you are defeating the purpose of ssi http://talkboard.123webmaster.com/ubbhtml/smile.gif When you use an ssi call you are either calling a cgi script or a file to be loaded live, everytime the page is accessed. This can be easily done with cgu/perl within your script.

First I would need to know what kind of SSI call you are making, is it to access another script, such as a poll? or are you just trying to load a file, like a header or footer?

Ok cool,

Here is some code that will do what you need:

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">code:</font><HR><pre>

open(FILE,"/path/to/menu.html");
@menu = &lt;FILE&gt;;
close(FILE);

[/code]

Then all you need to do is put @menu in your script wherever you would like the menu to appear. Be sure to place the above code before you want to display the menu.

Hope this helps!
