evolt.org: Search Engine Friendly SSI Image Gallery

“In this article, I’ll show you how I created a search engine
friendly dynamic image gallery, using only the features built into a core distribution of the Apache
web server. This image gallery will support supplementary file information, as well as error damage
control. … The techniques
can be used for far more than just images; any type of downloadable file (movies, mp3s, etc.) could
be used to create a gallery.”

“… Server Side Includes: SSI give you the opportunity to use a very limited control language
built within Apache to include other pages into the body of another, to test files for their
date and file size, to handle conditionals based on page data, environment, and so on and
so forth. They are a lifesaver for large sites. In this article, we use SSI to look at
environment data sent to Apache, as well as some file tests.”
