The echo command is used to display part of the SSI "environment".
Common uses for echo are :
1. Display the current date and time.
- shows how to display and format the host server's date and time.
2. Display the last modified date of a web page.
- shows how to display the last date a specific web page was changed.
3. Create a "back" button.
- does anyone really need this? Same as the browser BACK button on the tool bar.
4. Other uses.
- other things echo can display.
Pay very close attention to symbols, spaces, and CaPiTaLiZaTiOn. SSI can be a very picky coding.
