Can you use query strings in includes files.

Like

<!--#include file="../includes/inc_header.asp?Version=2" -->

I tried it but i get a file not found error. Is there anything special you have to do.

Yep, I tried it myself, and it always gives the file not found error, my guessing is that SSI does not differenciate what's the file and what's the querys passed on it, to SSI it's all part of the filename so it can't find the file, shame, it could be useful.

You cant do querystring in SSI because its done on the server. What you can do is

Dim variable
variable = "whatever"

You can then do your include and get the variable normally.

use server.execute instead of ssi.. all ssi does is put's the code in the file where you put the ssi invoke...

Server.Execute("../includes/inc_header.asp?Version=2")

server.execute actually executes the code in the file

SSI has the same effect... And server.Execute doesnt have access to all resources. I mean like this



<%

'this is the code

Dim var

var = "6"

%>

<!--#include file="include.inc"-->



<%

'include.inc

Response.Write(var)

%>
