To include an SSI variable you need to replace the type of data you want to display with the variable's name. The example below shows how to implement the inbuilt #SSI_DATELONG variable to display the current date every time a page is requested.

<HTML>
    <BODY>
        <H2>Welcome to my page. The date is 1 January 2012.</H2>
    </BODY>
</HTML>

For the data to change dynamically, substitute the data with SSI variable name, in our case #SSI_DATELONG.

<HTML>
    <BODY>
        <H2>Welcome to my page.  The date is #SSI_DATELONG.</H2>
    </BODY>
</HTML>
