Hi,I'm trying to use SSI (via XBitHack) to include a file or a bit of text in certain existing web pages only until a date I set in code. In other words, I want my pages to display certain text until an expiration date, and only until then. I know how to do this in PHP, but I don't want to have to rename my files from .html.
This is how I've approached the problem: <!--#set var="now_date" value="$DATE_LOCAL"--><!--#set var="exp_date" value="[something goes here that is based on the date I want the include-file to stop appearing]"-->
<!--#if expr='"now_date > exp_date"' --> <!--#include virtual="../../includes/file_to_include.inc" --> <!--#endif --> Here are my questions:1. In the third line above, would now_date (derived from DATE_LOCAL) be in Unix time? Or else in what form? 2. Is there a function I can call in the second line above to encode a date into Unix time (or whatever the answer is to my first question?)
Or, is there a better way to approach this problem?
I'm running Linux Red Hat 9 and Apache 2.0.42.
Thanks!
Doug Lipman
