SSI COMMAND QUESTION

[Dennis Marks]

The flastmod (file last modified) requires a file= or vitrual= as
indicated

<!--#flastmod virtual="/~denmarks/index.html" -->

The SSI variable DOCUMENT_URI contains the virtual path to the current
document.

I would like to do the following

<!--#flastmod virtual="DOCUMENT_URI" -->

but it is not valid. Is there another way to use a variable in place of
a file path.

BTW: I can't use LAST_MODIFIED at the present time due to an ISP
problem causing it to return the wrong date.

indicated

<!--#flastmod virtual="/~denmarks/index.html" -->

The SSI variable DOCUMENT_URI contains the virtual path to the current
document.

I would like to do the following

<!--#flastmod virtual="DOCUMENT_URI" -->

but it is not valid. Is there another way to use a variable in place of
a file path.

If the server returns the wrong date why wouldn't it return the wrong date
even if you use DOCUMENT_URI ?

I use this on many pages:
<!--#config timefmt="%B %d, %Y" -->
<!--#echo var="LAST_MODIFIED" -->

Two ways to specifically answer your question:

<!--#flastmod virtual="$DOCUMENT_URI" -->

( DOCUMENT_URI is a variable so you preface variables with "$" )

or

<!--#set var="mydocname" value="$DOCUMENT_URI" -->
<!--#flastmod virtual="$mydocname" -->


I have an ISP problem at another site ...doesn't allow SSI

Try javascript:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
document.write("Last Mutation:<br>"+document.lastModified); // -->
</script>

LAST_MODIFIED returns the wrong date.
FLASTMOD return the correct date.
I wish I knew why but according to the Webstar web site many people
have problems with LAST_MODIFIED and the ISP is still looking into it.
