Server Side Includes (SSI) really is a group of directives that will permit you to include the content of a text file within an HTML file. In this manner, you are able to add any kind of content to numerous pages in your site and modify it by just updating an individual text file. You can also incorporate the output of various scripts in order that the present time and date, the IP address of the visitor or the properties of some file show up on your site. This will let you add in some dynamic content to static webpages, making the site more inviting to your website visitors and giving it a professional visual appearance. It will be quicker to update this content as compared to editing each static page one by one. If you would like to use Server Side Includes on your website, the web pages that contain the content of any kind of file must be with extension .shtml.
