Server Side Include Tutorials
Server Side Include or SSI is a piece of code that is embedded into an HTML page and interpreted by the the server before the page is sent to the client's browser. SSI allows you to include information in your HTML files like a file's date of last modification, or even another HTML file. Any file that has the extension .shtml will automatically be parsed by the server.A Server Side Include command is contained within a comment tag:
<!--#command argument="value"-->
