Server Side Includes (SSI) is a well-known server-side scripting language, which is often used to add the content of one file inside of another file. It is employed typically with online content and it will help to make a static HTML website a lot more dynamic. If you wish to have a daily quote displayed on numerous pages on your website, for instance, you can make a text file and switch the quote inside it each day. All of the webpages where this file is integrated will display the updated quote, so you will not have to alter them personally every single time. SSI may also be used to incorporate the output of simple functions instead of a static file - for instance, the viewer's IP address, a hit counter or maybe the present time and date. In this manner, you may make your internet site look far more professional and much more attractive to the website visitors. Web pages that implement SSI have a .shtml extension.
