<p>This HOWTO first appeared in Apache Today

(http://www.apachetoday.com/) as a series of three articles. They

appear here by arrangement with ApacheToday and Internet.com.</p>



<p>This article deals with Server Side Includes, usually called simply

SSI. In this article, I'll talk about configuring your server to permit

SSI, and introduce some basic SSI techniques for adding dynamic content

to your existing HTML pages.</p>



<p>In the latter part of the article, we'll talk about some of the

somewhat more advanced things that can be done with SSI, such as

conditional statements in your SSI directives.</p>



<hr>

<h2><a name="whataressi">What are SSI?</a></h2>



<p>SSI (Server Side Includes) are directives that are placed in HTML

pages, and evaluated on the server while the pages are being served.

They let you add dynamically generated content to an existing HTML

page, without having to serve the entire page via a CGI program, or

other dynamic technology.</p>



<p>The decision of when to use SSI, and when to have your page entirely

generated by some program, is usually a matter of how much of the page

is static, and how much needs to be recalculated every time the page is

served. SSI is a great way to add small pieces of information, such as

the current time. But if a majority of your page is being generated at

the time that it is served, you need to look for some other

solution.</p>



<hr>

<h2><a name="configuringyourservertopermitssi">Configuring your

server to permit SSI</a></h2>



<p>To permit SSI on your server, you must have the following directive

either in your <code>httpd.conf</code> file, or in a

<code>.htaccess</code> file:</p>



<pre>

        Options +Includes

</pre>



<p>This tells Apache that you want to permit files to be parsed for SSI

directives.</p>



<p>Not just any file is parsed for SSI directives. You have to tell

Apache which files should be parsed. There are two ways to do this. You

can tell Apache to parse any file with a particular file extension,

such as <code>.shtml</code>, with the following directives:</p>



<pre>

        AddType text/html .shtml

        &lt;FilesMatch "\.shtml[.$]"&gt;

          SetOutputFilter INCLUDES<br>

        &lt;/FilesMatch&gt;

</pre>



<p>One disadvantage to this approach is that if you wanted to add SSI

directives to an existing page, you would have to change the name of

that page, and all links to that page, in order to give it a

<code>.shtml</code> extension, so that those directives would be

executed.</p>



<p>The other method is to use the <code>XBitHack</code> directive:</p>



<pre>

        XBitHack on

</pre>



<p><code>XBitHack</code> tells Apache to parse files for SSI directives

if they have the execute bit set. So, to add SSI directives to an

existing page, rather than having to change the file name, you would

just need to make the file executable using <code>chmod</code>.</p>



<pre>

        chmod +x pagename.html

</pre>



<p>A brief comment about what not to do. You'll occasionally see people

recommending that you just tell Apache to parse all <code>.html</code>

files for SSI, so that you don't have to mess with <code>.shtml</code>

file names. These folks have perhaps not heard about

<code>XBitHack</code>. The thing to keep in mind is that, by doing

this, you're requiring that Apache read through every single file that

it sends out to clients, even if they don't contain any SSI directives.

This can slow things down quite a bit, and is not a good idea.</p>



<p>Of course, on Windows, there is no such thing as an execute bit to

set, so that limits your options a little.</p>



<p>In its default configuration, Apache does not send the last modified

date or content length HTTP headers on SSI pages, because these values are

difficult to calculate for dynamic content.  This can prevent your

document from being cached, and result in slower perceived client

performance.  There are two ways to solve this:</p>



<ol> 



<li>Use the <code>XBitHack Full</code> configuration.  This tells

Apache to determine the last modified date by looking only at the date

of the originally requested file, ignoring the modification date of

any included files. </li> 



<li>Use the directives provided by <a

href="../mod/mod_expires.html">mod_expires</a> to set an explicit

expiration time on your files, thereby letting browsers and proxies

know that it is acceptable to cache them. </li>



</ol>





<hr>

<h2><a name="basicssidirectives">Basic SSI directives</a></h2>



<p>SSI directives have the following syntax:</p>



<pre>

        &lt;!--#element attribute=value attribute=value ... --&gt;

</pre>



<p>It is formatted like an HTML comment, so if you don't have SSI

correctly enabled, the browser will ignore it, but it will still be

visible in the HTML source. If you have SSI correctly configured, the

directive will be replaced with its results.</p>



<p>The element can be one of a number of things, and we'll talk some

more about most of these in the next installment of this series. For

now, here are some examples of what you can do with SSI</p>



<h3><a name="today'sdate">Today's date</a></h3>



<pre>

        &lt;!--#echo var="DATE_LOCAL" --&gt;

</pre>



<p>The <code>echo</code> element just spits out the value of a

variable. There are a number of standard variables, which include the

whole set of environment variables that are available to CGI programs.

Also, you can define your own variables with the <code>set</code>

element.</p>



<p>If you don't like the format in which the date gets printed, you can

use the <code>config</code> element, with a <code>timefmt</code>

attribute, to modify that formatting.</p>



<pre>

        &lt;!--#config timefmt="%A %B %d, %Y" --&gt;

        Today is &lt;!--#echo var="DATE_LOCAL" --&gt;

</pre>



<h3><a name="modificationdateofthefile">Modification date of the

file</a></h3>



<pre>

        This document last modified &lt;!--#flastmod file="index.html" --&gt;

</pre>



<p>This element is also subject to <code>timefmt</code> format

configurations.</p>



<h3><a name="includingtheresultsofacgiprogram">Including the

results of a CGI program</a></h3>



<p>This is one of the more common uses of SSI - to output the results

of a CGI program, such as everybody's favorite, a ``hit counter.''</p>



<pre>

        &lt;!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/counter.pl" --&gt;

</pre>



<hr>

<h2><a name="additionalexamples">Additional examples</a></h2>



<p>Following are some specific examples of things you can do in your

HTML documents with SSI.</p>



<hr>

<h2><a name="whenwasthisdocumentmodified">When was this document

modified?</a></h2>



<p>Earlier, we mentioned that you could use SSI to inform the user when

the document was most recently modified. However, the actual method for

doing that was left somewhat in question. The following code, placed in

your HTML document, will put such a time stamp on your page. Of course,

you will have to have SSI correctly enabled, as discussed above.</p>



<pre>

        &lt;!--#config timefmt="%A %B %d, %Y" --&gt;

        This file last modified &lt;!--#flastmod file="ssi.shtml" --&gt;

</pre>



<p>Of course, you will need to replace the <code>ssi.shtml</code> with

the actual name of the file that you're referring to. This can be

inconvenient if you're just looking for a generic piece of code that

you can paste into any file, so you probably want to use the

<code>LAST_MODIFIED</code> variable instead:</p>



<pre>

        &lt;!--#config timefmt="%D" --&gt;

        This file last modified &lt;!--#echo var="LAST_MODIFIED" --&gt;

</pre>



<p>For more details on the <code>timefmt</code> format, go to your

favorite search site and look for <code>ctime</code>. The syntax is the

same.</p>



<hr>

<h2><a name="includingastandardfooter">Including a standard

footer</a></h2>



<p>If you are managing any site that is more than a few pages, you may

find that making changes to all those pages can be a real pain,

particularly if you are trying to maintain some kind of standard look

across all those pages.</p>



<p>Using an include file for a header and/or a footer can reduce the

burden of these updates. You just have to make one footer file, and

then include it into each page with the <code>include</code> SSI

command. The <code>include</code> element can determine what file to

include with either the <code>file</code> attribute, or the

<code>virtual</code> attribute. The <code>file</code> attribute is a

file path, <em>relative to the current directory</em>. That means that

it cannot be an absolute file path (starting with /), nor can it

contain ../ as part of that path. The <code>virtual</code> attribute is

probably more useful, and should specify a URL relative to the document

being served. It can start with a /, but must be on the same server as

the file being served.</p>



<pre>

        &lt;!--#include virtual="/footer.html" --&gt;

</pre>



<p>I'll frequently combine the last two things, putting a

<code>LAST_MODIFIED</code> directive inside a footer file to be

included. SSI directives can be contained in the included file, and

includes can be nested - that is, the included file can include another

file, and so on.</p>



<hr>

<h2><a name="whatelsecaniconfig">What else can I config?</a></h2>



<p>In addition to being able to <code>config</code> the time format,

you can also <code>config</code> two other things.</p>



<p>Usually, when something goes wrong with your SSI directive, you get

the message</p>



<pre>

        [an error occurred while processing this directive]

</pre>



<p>If you want to change that message to something else, you can do so

with the <code>errmsg</code> attribute to the <code>config</code>

element:</p>



<pre>

        &lt;!--#config errmsg="[It appears that you don't know how to use SSI]" --&gt;

</pre>



<p>Hopefully, end users will never see this message, because you will

have resolved all the problems with your SSI directives before your

site goes live. (Right?)</p>



<p>And you can <code>config</code> the format in which file sizes are

returned with the <code>sizefmt</code> attribute. You can specify

<code>bytes</code> for a full count in bytes, or <code>abbrev</code>

for an abbreviated number in Kb or Mb, as appropriate.</p>



<hr>

<h2><a name="executingcommands">Executing commands</a></h2>



<p>I expect that I'll have an article some time in the coming months

about using SSI with small CGI programs. For now, here's something else

that you can do with the <code>exec</code> element. You can actually

have SSI execute a command using the shell (<code>/bin/sh</code>, to be

precise - or the DOS shell, if you're on Win32). The following, for

example, will give you a directory listing.</p>



<pre>

        &lt;pre&gt;

        &lt;!--#exec cmd="ls" --&gt;

        &lt;/pre&gt;

</pre>



<p>or, on Windows</p>



<pre>

        &lt;pre&gt;

        &lt;!--#exec cmd="dir" --&gt;

        &lt;/pre&gt;

</pre>



<p>You might notice some strange formatting with this directive on

Windows, because the output from <code>dir</code> contains the string

``&lt;<code>dir</code>&gt;'' in it, which confuses browsers.</p>



<p>Note that this feature is exceedingly dangerous, as it will execute

whatever code happens to be embedded in the <code>exec</code> tag. If

you have any situation where users can edit content on your web pages,

such as with a ``guestbook'', for example, make sure that you have this

feature disabled. You can allow SSI, but not the <code>exec</code>

feature, with the <code>IncludesNOEXEC</code> argument to the

<code>Options</code> directive.</p>



<hr>

<h2><a name="advancedssitechniques">Advanced SSI techniques</a></h2>



<p>In addition to spitting out content, Apache SSI gives you the option

of setting variables, and using those variables in comparisons and

conditionals.</p>



<h3><a name="caveat">Caveat</a></h3>



<p>Most of the features discussed in this article are only available to

you if you are running Apache 1.2 or later. Of course, if you are not

running Apache 1.2 or later, you need to upgrade immediately, if not

sooner. Go on. Do it now. We'll wait.</p>



<hr>

<h2><a name="settingvariables">Setting variables</a></h2>



<p>Using the <code>set</code> directive, you can set variables for

later use. We'll need this later in the discussion, so we'll talk about

it here. The syntax of this is as follows:</p>



<pre>

        &lt;!--#set var="name" value="Rich" --&gt;

</pre>



<p>In addition to merely setting values literally like that, you can

use any other variable, including, for example, environment variables,

or some of the variables we discussed in the last article (like

<code>LAST_MODIFIED</code>, for example) to give values to your

variables. You will specify that something is a variable, rather than a

literal string, by using the dollar sign ($) before the name of the

variable.</p>



<pre>

        &lt;!--#set var="modified" value="$LAST_MODIFIED" --&gt;

</pre>



<p>To put a literal dollar sign into the value of your variable, you

need to escape the dollar sign with a backslash.</p>



<pre>

        &lt;!--#set var="cost" value="\$100" --&gt;

</pre>



<p>Finally, if you want to put a variable in the midst of a longer

string, and there's a chance that the name of the variable will run up

against some other characters, and thus be confused with those

characters, you can place the name of the variable in braces, to remove

this confusion. (It's hard to come up with a really good example of

this, but hopefully you'll get the point.)</p>



<pre>

        &lt;!--#set var="date" value="${DATE_LOCAL}_${DATE_GMT}" --&gt;

</pre>



<hr>

<h2><a name="conditionalexpressions">Conditional expressions</a></h2>



<p>Now that we have variables, and are able to set and compare their

values, we can use them to express conditionals. This lets SSI be a

tiny programming language of sorts. <code>mod_include</code> provides

an <code>if</code>, <code>elif</code>, <code>else</code>,

<code>endif</code> structure for building conditional statements. This

allows you to effectively generate multiple logical pages out of one

actual page.</p>



<p>The structure of this conditional construct is:</p>



<pre>

        &lt;!--#if expr="test_condition" --&gt;

    &lt;!--#elif expr="test_condition" --&gt;

    &lt;!--#else --&gt;

    &lt;!--#endif --&gt;

</pre>



<p>A <em>test_condition</em> can be any sort of logical comparison -

either comparing values to one another, or testing the ``truth'' of a

particular value. (A given string is true if it is nonempty.) For a

full list of the comparison operators available to you, see the

<code>mod_include</code> documentation. Here are some examples of how

one might use this construct.</p>



<p>In your configuration file, you could put the following line:</p>



<pre>

        BrowserMatchNoCase macintosh Mac

        BrowserMatchNoCase MSIE InternetExplorer

</pre>



<p>This will set environment variables ``Mac'' and ``InternetExplorer''

to true, if the client is running Internet Explorer on a Macintosh.</p>



<p>Then, in your SSI-enabled document, you might do the following:</p>



<pre>

        &lt;!--#if expr="${Mac} &amp;&amp; ${InternetExplorer}" --&gt;

        Apologetic text goes here

        &lt;!--#else --&gt;

        Cool JavaScript code goes here

        &lt;!--#endif --&gt;

</pre>



<p>Not that I have anything against IE on Macs - I just struggled for a

few hours last week trying to get some JavaScript working on IE on a

Mac, when it was working everywhere else. The above was the interim

workaround.</p>



<p>Any other variable (either ones that you define, or normal

environment variables) can be used in conditional statements. With

Apache's ability to set environment variables with the

<code>SetEnvIf</code> directives, and other related directives, this

functionality can let you do some pretty involved dynamic stuff without

ever resorting to CGI.</p>



<hr>

<h2><a name="conclusion">Conclusion</a></h2>



<p>SSI is certainly not a replacement for CGI, or other technologies

used for generating dynamic web pages. But it is a great way to add

small amounts of dynamic content to pages, without doing a lot of extra

work.</p>
