    Is it possible to call SSI do display in a dynmaic text field??

    Code:
    <!--#config timefmt=\"%a. %m/%d %I:%M %p %Z\" --><!--#echo var=\"DATE_LOCAL\"-->
    that's what i'm trying (just escaping the quotes) and it doesn't seem to work... it seems like it should... but I"m probably doing something really wrong... any help?

    TIA

    hm... not too familiar with SSIs, but you might want to check the section on supplying data to flash through webpages. it might help.

    Why, may I ask, do you want to do this? Why not use the Date object?

    yeah i'm playing with the date object now... but the SSI is good because it's our servers time.. so if we have contests or updates for a certain date and time it's by our time not the users LOCAL time... I'm working with the UTC stuff... but I'm not sure if it's right or not!

    [edit: i did a test in which i messed with my OS time and everything looks kosher ]
