<!–#include scalabilty

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 27.2004

hi,

I’m using a <!–#include virtual=”file.txt” –> statement to populate a page with a value (doesn’t matter what it actually is).

It works fine, but my method isn’t very scalable as I can only get this to work if the #include gets it’s data from a unique file, i.e. I need a seperate file for each value I want to import to the webpage.

Is there anyway to get the #include to read through a singular file that holds a list of data with which to populate the webpage?

thanks in advance,

@David_HarrisonMay 27.2004 — Well if you only have SSI support then no, but if you have a server-side language available then yes you could. Do you have a server-side language available?

@PeOfEoMay 27.2004 — Yes, an include only parses the contents of an ascii file, if you want to play with data bases, as lavalamp said, you will need a server side language. Data bases can be mssql server, msde, mysql, oracle, foxpro, access, xml, or a text file. To use a text file like a data base, well its a pain in the butt.
