<p>Variable substitution is done within quoted strings in most
cases where they may reasonably occur as an argument to an SSI
directive. This includes the <code>config</code>,
<code>exec</code>, <code>flastmod</code>, <code>fsize</code>,
<code>include</code>, <code>echo</code>, and <code>set</code>
- directives, as well
- as the arguments to conditional operators. You can insert a
- literal dollar sign into the string using backslash
+ directives, as well as the arguments to conditional operators.
+ You can insert a literal dollar sign into the string using backslash
quoting:</p>
-<div class="example"><p><code>
- <!--#if expr="$a = \$test" -->
-</code></p></div>
+
+ <div class="example"><p><code>
+ <!--#if expr="$a = \$test" -->
+ </code></p></div>
<p>If a variable reference needs to be substituted in the
middle of a character sequence that might otherwise be
disambiguated by enclosing the reference in braces,
<em>a la</em> shell substitution:</p>
-<div class="example"><p><code>
- <!--#set var="Zed" value="${REMOTE_HOST}_${REQUEST_METHOD}" -->
-</code></p></div>
+
<div class="example"><p><code>
+ <!--#set var="Zed" value="${REMOTE_HOST}_${REQUEST_METHOD}" -->
+ </code></p></div>
<p>This will result in the <code>Zed</code> variable being set
to "<code>X_Y</code>" if <code>REMOTE_HOST</code> is
"<code>X</code>" and <code>REQUEST_METHOD</code> is
"<code>Y</code>".</p>
- <p>EXAMPLE: the below example will print "in foo" if the
- DOCUMENT_URI is /foo/file.html, "in bar" if it is
- /bar/file.html and "in neither" otherwise:</p>
-
-<div class="example"><p><code>
- <!--#if expr="\"$DOCUMENT_URI\" = \"/foo/file.html\"" --><br />
- in foo<br />
- <!--#elif expr="\"$DOCUMENT_URI\" = \"/bar/file.html\"" --><br />
- in bar<br />
- <!--#else --><br />
- in neither<br />
- <!--#endif -->
-</code></p></div>
+ <p>The below example will print "in foo" if the
+ <code>DOCUMENT_URI</code> is <code>/foo/file.html</code>, "in bar"
