[users@httpd] Question regarding SSI

[Krishnakuma Govindarajan <kg...@mainex1.asu.edu>]

Hi,
I have a question regarding SSI's. I have two types of files, a .php and
then .htm files. The name of the file to be included would be sent
through the url and it would be just the name of the file and there
would be no extension. In that case, I have to include <filename>.htm,
and if it doesn't exist, I have to include <filename>.php. I'm not sure
on how to check whether a file exists or not. Any Ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Krishna

Start by looking at  "Multiviews" under 
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/content-negotiation.html#negotiation

It does pretty much exactly what you want automatically.
