Server Side Includes (SSI) is a well-known server-side scripting language, employed to incorporate the content of one file inside another file. It's utilized principally with online content and it could help to make a static HTML site much more dynamic. If you'd like to have a daily quote displayed on a number of pages on your website, for example, you can create a text file and switch the quote within it each day. All of the pages in which this file is integrated will show the modified quote, so you'll not need to modify all of them manually every single time. SSI could also be used to contain the output of basic functions as opposed to a static file - for example, the client's IP address, a hit counter or maybe the current time and date. In this manner, you may make your internet site seem more professional and a lot more attractive to the site visitors. Pages that employ SSI have a .shtml extension.
