Topic: Including different files using SSI?

[jensdahlin]

I want to include different files based on a parameter sent via the URL.

If the URL is [...]program.shtml?param=value

I want to include value.inc
<!--#include virtual="value.inc" -->

However if the URL is [...]program.shtml?param=anothervalue

I want to include value2.inc
<!--#include virtual="value2.inc" -->

I can't seem to find a solution to this problem - at least not without using perl or something like that and I would like to make this as easy as possible. Any hints?

Best regards
Jens

Well, being that it doesn't read the query string I think you're out of luck. It does environment variables but all the SetEnvIf need would probably not be to your liking as well.

If you don't mind skipping the "param=" part of the query string, it becomes much easier.

Put this in your program.shtml page:

Thanks!

I experimented with your idea and found out a solution that suited me better:

<!--First I set a variable as the QUERY_STRING-value -->
<!--#set var="qs" value="$QUERY_STRING" -->

<!--Then I include file depending on the value of this variable.-->
<!-- I have an else-statement in the end - default value if no criteria matches -->
<!--#if expr="$qs='param=one'" -->
<!--#include virtual="/one.inc" -->
<!--#elif expr="$qs='param=two'"-->
<!--#include virtual="/two.inc" -->
<!--#elif expr="$qs='param=three'"-->
<!--#include virtual="/three.inc" -->
<!--#else -->
<!--#include virtual="/one.inc" -->
<!--#endif -->

Using some kind of regexp it might even be possible to break out the value-part of the url-parameter but this will have to do right now.

Once more: thanks!
