Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
SSI
What is SSI?
SSI stands for Server Side Includes. The webserver will parse the SSI
tags as a part of your HTML script but be invisible to the user viewing
your page.
How do I label files with SSI tags?
They must be labeled as .shtml so the webserver knows to parse them as
something other than just plain HTML. Another method is to change your
.htaccess file to let the webserver know to parse certain files.
Is there another way to put variables into a web page?
Yes, PHP is a great way
to embed information into a web page. PHP is an popular alternative with
a large support community.
