SSI help

Hi ya

Most of my site is made up of SSI calls, but I have hit a problem.
Because the file extensions have to be .shtml on my webserver, I call a text file called toplinks.txt which contains the top links of my site.
In there, I want to make an SSI call to a random quote, but because it is a .txt file, it won't allow it.

Is there anyway to bypass it?

--James

you mean nested ssi calls?

(ssi calls toplinks.txt, which has a ssi call in it?)

I don't think it is possible, what you might want to do is split the file into the part above and below the nested ssi call

get your host to set it up...

Lo,

I have Webmin on my dedicated host, but because the server is hush-hush the admin isn't helping me.
And Apache isn't setup and I have no idea how to get it working LOL

MySQL works on it tho ;)

If you are using PHP, bugger SSI and use include(). You can recursively call as many files as you want, php or not.

-Kenneth

require ('shtml/tophome.html');
require ('shtml/topnavstrip.html');
require ('shtml/topextrastrip.html');
require ('shtml/topsearch.html');
?>
I think its something like that, if not I'd have to check my page code, I'm pretty sure thats what it is
Require is better than the include function, I think

urm... please can you explain it a little more? :)

I am a newbie ;)

PS - also, how can I do it so .php pages are shown if no HTML files are in the dir? At the moment, if an index.htm/l file isn't found, then it shows a dir listing.

i also need to know how to do php include calls :)

wildwayz... if you're still using webmin , the directory problem can be solved through webmin... that's how i got http://animeboards.net/forums/

to requet the index.php file

You just need to make the toplinks.txt have a .shtml extension, then you can nest the SSI's. :)

that'll work too
