Re^2: Passing values between Apache SSIs

Hi,

Thanks for your help. But I am using more SSIs in the HTML, where each SSIs are separated by loads of HTML. So I cant call them from a despatch script. Also, I have more HTMLs which have session.cgi, along with SSIs other than cart.cgi. I kept them together for demonstration purpose only.
I will try setting cookies from session.cgi

Cheers !

I will try setting cookies from session.cgi That won't work, because there are no new HTTP requests between the call to `session.cgi` and the other scripts. You can only access the session in all those scripts if the user already has a cookie. Your application sounds if it's hight time to switch to a decent template system (and perhaps a MVC framework) instead of HTML pages intermingled with SSI. I built pages like that (HTML + lots of SSI) in the past, and I found that the complexity of passing information around outweighs the seemingly simplicity that it offers at first. Your question demonstrates that HTML+SSI isn't very flexible when used like this, and it's really painful to extend and scale inflexible systems.	[reply] [d/l]
