What brower types or versions must be used for SSI?
Actually, the SSI is determined by your host server, not a browser. If you are doing “includes” then it will present the coding as on a regular html document. That coding is up to you to determin its ability to be seen in a specific browser. [...]
Fsize stands for File Size. It can display the byte size of a file, either document or image.
<!–#fsize file=”filename.ext” –>
The result shows the actual file size. If it is a web page that is only the size of the web page. It does not include the size of all the images being shown on [...]
SSI allows you to execute a CGI script or command directly from the web page. This comes in handy as some CGI scripts will only operate if they are called from the web page itself. Here is the script :
<!–#exec cmd=”filename.ext” –>
Be sure to include any directories (such as cgi-bin) and use the correct filename [...]
Need some other tricks to use the echo command for? Here are the other values you can enter for the value of var. I’m not going into detail with these at this time. The basics, include and echo are covered on the previous tutorial pages though.

</a>
Now check out the quotes around the HTTP_REFERER in the link area and in the text area. [...]
The echo command may be used to display the “last modified” date of the html document. That is the last time a specific web page was changed and/or uploaded to the server.
<!–#echo var=”LAST_MODIFIED” –>
You will have to enter the correct filename and extension with this command. Since this is also a date and time command [...]
To display the current date and time on your page, the following SSI code is used :
<!–#echo var=”DATE_LOCAL” –>
Rather long and drawn out result isn’t it? No problem, there is an SSI command that will format it to your specs. This SSI code line goes just before the DATE_LOCAL one…
<!–#config timefmt=”value” –>
This will “Configure the [...]

The I of SSI stands for Include. What does this mean? Just as it sounds. It includes a specific part/code/script/feature into the current web page.

What do I require to use SSI on my site? How do I tell if SSI is enabled?
