Use SSI on CGI Pages

Use SSI on CGI Pages
How would you use SSI calls in site_html for add.cgi, search.cgi, and modify.cgi? Say you wanted to input data from a text file or for advertising. I tried <--#exec cgi="/home/www/etc"--> but it doesn't work. I remember some post a while back about this. Anyone care to tell me how now?

Thanks,
Nicholas

you cannot use SSI calls on the cgi-generated pages (like add, modify, search results). For those routines, you will need to include subroutines (or requires) in site_html, and then call the program you want to execute.

Mark,

Can you give me an example or what you mean by an "include or require"?

I've got both a voting script and a counter that I'd like to put on the displayed screen from DBMan but have no idea how to do it.
