SSI Question !

[Caesar]

This may sound stupid to you guys but can I do SSI calls to html files on my friend's server ?

E.g <!--#include virtual="http://www.yahoo.com" -->

Can I do that ?

I have tried, tried, and tried again, and I still can't figure that out. Sorry for the bad news...

No you can not. Very unfortunate too. Really screws things up when you want to do some special things like ad rotators.

You can with PHP using the include command!
but thats only if u have php!

[WebMasterAJ]

Please explain...

Thanks in advanced

[jumpthru]

Really??? How?

[SniperUK]

use this command
<? include("http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/test.cgi"); ?>


example I used the php command to include a poll script from
http://www.loisandclark.net to http://www.luqman.f2s.com

It should work fine with a add script or any other script but some times you will have to change some parts!

Thanks!

I did as you said, and when I preview it, it just comes up as text. I am not good with this stuff, so I don't know if you are supposed to put something before or after that...

[WebMasterAJ]

The script I want is a view script I guess you could say. I want this script "http://www.superbrawl.com/cgi-bin/news-ssi2.pl" to be on my site "http://www.finheaven.com/" any ideas?

[SniperUK]

Try this
<?
include("http://www.superbrawl.com/cgi-bin/news-ssi2.pl");
?>

Make sure the script works!

this is just a newer way to slow down your site because it has to get data from a remote site !!! .. and here i am banging my head all the time trying to figure out how to make my code more efficient and speed up the process

WebMasterAJ,

For PHP code like that above to work, you need to have PHP support installed on your Web server. Check with your ISP or Web host to see if the server you are using has PHP installed.
