Header and SSI Problem

[<|R0cKm@nX|>]

Since I want a easier life updating my site, i will put headers and footers but these headers and footers can't contain SSI. I mean if u include header.shtm to your header, and if you put a poll for example in your header.shtm, if wont appear when u view the page. so how can i actually use javascript or anyother methods that can take over SSI?

php would do what you want as it 'interprets' included pages which SSI don't.

you could use javascript but that would maybe not be the cleanest way

include a perl file which generates the header/footer is an option you could use with SSI

i dun really get wat u mean
but is there any perl or php header scripts that allow ssi to be included in the header file?

[lucifer]

not sure I don't bother with SSI as php does the same and more

[<|R0cKm@nX|>]

php?
how php do header and footer with ssi items in the header and footer?

[lucifer]

I don't think it can but you could convert your SSI to php as php can do all that stuff and more

but i will have a hard time updating the some many pages!
do u mean like that:
<? require ("http://www.dsf.com/sddf.php3"); ?><p>
<? virtual ("/dfsdv/sdfvdf.cgi"); ?> <p>
<? virtual ("/sdfcf/ddcsfvsd.pl"); ?><p>

then wat if i wanna get away a thing from everypage?
i hope i can get all this into a file and put:
<? require ("/sfsdfsxvsf/menu.shtml"); ?>
on every page.
so if i want to remove a thing, i juz go to the menu and remove 1 line code and every page will be updated.

in pages put

<? include "theinclude.php3"; ?>



theinclude.php3

<? include "http://www.dsf.com/sddf.php3"; ?><br>
<? system ("/dfsdv/sdfvdf.cgi"); ?> <br>
<? system ("/sdfcf/ddcsfvsd.pl"); ?>


that should do it. You'd have to rename your pages .php3 or something like that for them to be run as php


this is a pain if your site is already up but you could use url rewritting to get round that though this is a big pain

then you'd only have one file to change

do u mean i must put the include tags like this:
<? include "http://www.dsf.com/sddf.php3"; ?><br>
<? system ("/dfsdv/sdfvdf.cgi"); ?> <br>
<? system ("/sdfcf/ddcsfvsd.pl"); ?>
then it will work?

will it still work if i put:
<? require ("http://www.dsf.com/sddf.php3"); ?><p>
<? virtual ("/dfsdv/sdfvdf.cgi"); ?> <p>
<? virtual ("/sdfcf/ddcsfvsd.pl"); ?><p>

huh? :confused:

[lucifer]

no, cos it'll have to be php syntax not SSI

good bye - SSI






the files need to be .php3 though .php .phtml are used by some servers - else it won't know to run php

I swaped the <p> for <br> as you should have <p>...</p> for good practice and <br> is a compromise
