Server Side Includes (SSI) is a well-known server-side scripting language, used to incorporate the content of one file inside of a second file. It is used principally with online content and it could help make a static HTML site far more dynamic. If you'd like to have a daily quote displayed on various webpages of your website, for instance, you can make a text file and switch the quote within it daily. All the webpages where this file is included will display the updated quote, so you will not have to edit all of them manually every single time. SSI can also be used to incorporate the output of basic functions instead of a static file - for example, the viewer's IP address, a hit counter or the current time and date. In this manner, you may make your site appear much more professional and more appealing to the site visitors. Pages that employ SSI have a .shtml extension.
