What am I doing wrong?

[seonewbee]

I put this in my page and it did not work. I only see the text and not the serverside include. The page is a php page. The code is
<B> This site last updated on
<!--#config timefmt="%m/%d/%y" --><!--#echo var="DATE_LOCAL" -->
</B>

Why is it wrapped in comment tags?

[seonewbee]

What is the correct format for a SSI

[Jazzee]

No, you have it right. I don't know why it doesn't work.

[Pretend]

Sorry... not about your topic because I don't exactly know.

But do you actually run FreeBSD as your OS? lol

[seonewbee]

Is there some special escapement that you must do in PHP to run SSI? Is there a PHP function to do what that SSI call does?

[Jazzee]

Doesn't your page extension have to be .shtml for the server side includes to work?

[seonewbee]

OK, what do I do to get the date on the page?

[Jazzee]

In php, you can use this:


[code:1:e2a9a9979a]<?php
echo date("m.d.y");
?>[/code:1:e2a9a9979a]

[Jazzee]

That won't give you a last updated date, though. Neither will the one you were using above, though. Is that what you were looking for?

Jazee you are right. It should have the .shtml extension and the syntax should also be.

[code:1:80b6007213]<!--#config timefmt="%m %d %y" --><!--#echo var="DATE_LOCAL" -->[/code:1:80b6007213]

No. The syntax he used above works. The one you just posted will not have the slashes in between the numbers.

Thank you all! Thanks to Jazzee it works now. Thank you very much. Could someone answer my question in http://www.internet-marketing-resear...opic10424.html

Thanks.

[Jazzee]

Did you just use the php one?

[seonewbee]

Yes I used the PHP one. Could I use somekind of an include in PHP and call a .shtml file that has the SSI code?

[Jazzee]

You could try.

<?php include('datefile.shtml'); ?>

Just put your date thing in datefile.shtml and try it.

I doubt it will work, though.

[seonewbee]

Thanks very much.

[Jazzee]

Doesn't work. I tried it. Your better off sticking with the php.
