Ok, now I am really down to the final problem, as I just solved one of my last two problems, the easier one. Using Vishal's post (http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...?post=297259;#297259), I split a header template file into two separate ones (one for the php files & another for cgi files), and solved the login issue for the php files. Stupid me originally thought I needed help on using ssi on the .html files, forgetting that the static pages created by Gossamer Links would actually be .php files. Anyway, it's all done except for that real final question: How do I extract a variable from a php part of the website into a cgi part of the website? After everything that I've read so far, I'm not even sure if it's possible, but if it is that would be absolutely incredible, especially since I've solved every other problem I had before. Can anyone help me please? Thanks in advance!
