SMF SSI.php Functions

Current Version: 2.0

This file is used to demonstrate the capabilities of SSI.php using PHP include functions. The examples show the include tag, then the results of it.

Include Code

To use SSI.php in your page add at the very top of your page before the <html> tag on line 1 of your php file:

Code: [Select]
<?php require("SSI.php"); ?>

Some notes on usage

All the functions have an output method parameter. This can either be "echo" (the default) or "array"

If it is "echo", the function will act normally - otherwise, it will return an array containing information about the requested task. For example, it might return a list of topics for ssi_recentTopics.

This functionality can be used to allow you to present the information in any way you wish.

thumbup Disclaimer page now available

September 28, 2017, 05:25:05 PM by Joe
A little late, but... a disclaimer page is now available from the bottom of most pages on the www.OzSuper.com site.

The wording for this page will expand over time. It will contain some basic warnings that should already be in minds of investors.

thumbup far better screen sizes for small devices...

July 15, 2017, 06:54:58 PM by Joe
Further enhancement for smartphones and small devices.
No more pinching and scrolling right to left.
The webpage will now display the correct width, landscape or portrait.


For those with a technical bent: this is with the use of the viewport statement in the HTML Header.

Have even more fun browsing www.OzSuper.com

March 22, 2017, 01:18:46 PM by Joe
A more interactive form of charting has now been introduced.

The power of the chart can be utilised by placing the cursor over various chart bars to see the exact values.
Also with drill-down. Just click on one of the vertical bars to open up the trades for that day.

Please have a play and comments welcome.
