SSI conditional problem 1

[Dweezel]

I'm trying to add a conditional comment either outside or inside an ssi include.

I'm using a remote apache server. Here's the server info from phpinfo():

 	Apache/1.3.36 (Unix) mod_auth_passthrough/1.8 mod_log_bytes/1.2 mod_bwlimited/1.4 PHP/4.4.2 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635.SR1.2 mod_ssl/2.8.27 OpenSSL/0.9.7f

Both the webpage and the include have a .shtml file extension. I tried the following code as a test but all I get is error messages:

     <!--#set var="lang" value="french" -->	


     <!--#if lang="french" -->

     <!--#include virtual="../_includes/header.shtml" -->

     <!--#endif -->

I also tried:

     <!--#set var="lang" value="french" -->	


     <!--#if $(lang)="french" -->

     <!--#include virtual="../_includes/header.shtml" -->

     <!--#endif -->

All I'm getting is the following double error message:

[an error occurred while processing this directive]
[an error occurred while processing this directive]

Can anyone see anything wrong with my syntax? I've never used ssi before so I'm guessing it's something I'm doing wrong.

TIA.

Also, is using conditional comments within an ssi include possible, given that the include also has a '.shtml' extension?

Hi

You mean if you can use SSI in the header.shtml file ? Yes.
