Ever go crazy trying to copy the "big guys" and have the full
URL of your pages displayed on each and every page in your site?
You won't last long if you're hardcoding this information; do it
with an include and simplify your life! Precede the include with
your domain name to display the full URL of any page.
http://YourDomain<!--#echo var="DOCUMENT_URI" -->
QUERY_STRING_UNESCAPED -
The unescaped version of any search query the client sent, with all
shell-special characters escaped with \.
<!--#echo var="QUERY_STRING_UNESCAPED" -->
DATE LOCAL -
Dates and times are subject to the server timezone unless
you've configured your server to show a different timezone.
Default output of DATE_LOCAL is fairly blah, ranging to
ugly but the good news is you're not stuck with the default
output. By combining the variable with config timefmt
you can specify almost any output you please.
Consider the following two examples. The first is the default
output of DATE_LOCAL.
Not exactly what you wanted, so let's customize it a bit.
The example below uses the config directive to specify
a more pleasing output. Text is added to the include
giving us a line that flows like a sentence rather than
just sticking the information up there for the world to see.
<!--#config timefmt="%A, the %d of %B, in the year %Y" -->
<!--#echo var="DATE_LOCAL" -->
displays as:
Saturday, the 15 of April, in the year 2000
DATE_GMT - DATE_GMT works the same as DATE_LOCAL, except
that it returns Greenwich Mean Time.
<!--#echo var="DATE_GMT" -->
LAST_MODIFIED - The date the current file was last
modified. This is another trick the "big guys" use. Don't
worry yourself to death trying to remember to hand change your
last modified date, let SSI take care of it for you! Simply add the
following line to your HTML pages.
