 Posted: Wed Nov 12, 2003 8:18 pm Post subject: New to CGI. What seetings do I need to change |
 |
|
I installed perl per apreliums instructions. I am new to this so I think I am still missing something. I started with a small script I grabbed from a website. It is a "last modified" script.
I put the .cgi file in the cgi-bin
The readme that comes with the script told me to add this line in my html page: | Code: | | <!--#include virtual="cgi-bin/lastmod.cgi" --> |
Now, this works if I link it <a>code</a> to the code. This of course directs the browser to a different page displaying the information. I want it to display in the html page where I put that code.
Am I missing a bit of code to instruct this code to place the data where I want? Do I need to change a setting on my server(dont think so)?
Thanks! :?: |

lestat,
If you can browse the script directly and if it works then all is fine.
All you have to do is to put the SSI code in a page which extension is .shtml, .shtm, or .stm . If you don't like these extensions, you can customize them (or even add you own ones) in the SSI Parameters in the console.
Next, you should use the code
| Code: | | <!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/lastmod.cgi" --> |
The virtual path must begin with a slash (to make the cgi script reachable from any directory on your web site).

SSI directives can be included in any HTML page. Can you explain us exactly what do you mean when you speak about PHP/Forms in this case?

I noticed it was mentioned several times that one needs to only include SSI/CGI type code in .shtml or .html
I was wondering if this type of code would work in .php pages?
I just cant get that lastmod.cgi code to disply anything to me. But it does work when I use the link.
I think I need a book. |

Hi lestat--
Have you tried adding "php" in console/advanced/ssi parameters/SSI Associated Extensions?
I don't know if that will work as I am not using php but adding "html htm" works to get includes working on html and htm pages.
Good luck! |

lestat,
You can't mix SSI directives and PHP statements in the same page. You must choose between both technologies. For your information, if are writing a PHP page, it is unecessary to use SSI. Most SSI directives have their one-line-code equivalent in PHP. So it is easier/fatser to write your page 100% PHP.
