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
