Apache Today: Apache Guide: Introduction to Server Side Includes

[ Thanks to Kevin

for this link. ]

This is the first of three articles dealing with Server
Side Includes, usually called simply SSI. In this article, I’ll
talk about configuring your server to permit SSI and introduce some
basic SSI techniques for adding dynamic content to your existing
HTML pages.

“In the second article, we’ll talk about some of the somewhat
more advanced things you can do with SSI, and in the third week,
we’ll look at the advanced things that can be done with SSI, such
as conditional statements in your SSI directives.”

“SSI (Server Side Includes) are directives that are placed in
HTML pages and evaluated on the server while the pages are being
served. They let you add dynamically generated content to an
existing HTML page, without having to serve the entire page via a
CGI program or other dynamic technology.”
