SSI calls with PHP3?

[Mario]

I thought I read somewhere on this forum about SSI calls being used within PHP3 files. Is that correct?[nbsp]

You cannot use SSI commands within a PHP script... I don't see the need to, either - anything you can do with an SSI call can be done easier in PHP.

http://www.php.net/ for more info on the various commands.

I'm not sure what the question refers to exactly, but it is possible to do ssi-like feats on a .php web page using PHP functions.

this thread is old, but since i've been more of a 'taker' than 'giver' in this forum, i'll give a little...

if you have a .php document and you'd like to insert a SSI call (ie. for a cgi you're running), use the virtual() function... for example:

<? virtual (&quot;/cgi-bin/blah.pl&quot;); ?>

this is equivalent to <!--#include virtual=&quot;/cgi/blah.pl&quot;--> in a .shtml file

for what its worth... -kysa

I'm trying to see how to do some of this SSI stuff, and looking at whether to use PHP or SSI or what...

Anyhow, I just wanted to clarify something in the last post before this one...the smiley is confusing and I think there was a syntax error in that statement, so based on my testing just moments ago:

To use a PHP virtual command to call a cgi script inside a PHP document:

<? virtual ("/cgi-bin/script.cgi"); ?>

Here's the docs on PHP's virtual command at PHP.net:
