To include
...
an
...
SSI
...
variable
...
simply
...
use
...
the
...
variable
...
name
...
in
...
place
...
of
...
the
...
type
...
of
...
data
...
you
...
want
...
to
...
display.
...
This
...
example
...
shows
...
how
...
to
...
implement
...
the
...
| theme | Eclipse |
|---|
...
inbuilt #SSI_DATELONG variable to display the current date every time a page is requested.
We start with a very basic HTML page:
| Code Block |
|---|
<HTML> <BODY> <H2>Welcome to my page. The date is 1 January 2012.</H2> </BODY> </HTML> |
| HTML |
This is
...
clearly
...
inappropriate
...
because
...
if
...
a
...
user
...
requests
...
your
...
page
...
on,
...
say,
...
14
...
February
...
2013,
...
the
...
date
...
will
...
be
...
incorrect.
...
| theme | Eclipse |
|---|
...
So to force the web server to show the correct date, simply substitute the text for the variable name, in this case #SSI_DATELONG.
| Code Block |
|---|
<HTML> <BODY> <H2>Welcome to my page. The date is #SSI_DATELONG.</H2> </BODY> </HTML> |
| HTML |
If this
...
page
...
is
...
now
...
requested,
...
it
...
will
...
look
...
as
...
the
...
one
...
below:

The result is that the variable #SSI_DATELONG was replaced by the text '21 September 2012'.
