2. SSI “Server Side Includes”

3. SSI defined Server Side Includes (SSI) are HTML comment tags which contain commands directed at the Web server. The server carries out these commands not the browser. Not all servers react to SSI commands the same.

4. How SSI works searchesWhen the server parses a document it searches through the page, looking for special commands that it recognizes. rewrites When it finds a command like “input today’s date, or insert this code snippet, it acts on the command and rewrites your web page for you.

5. How SSI works.shtmlIf you want your document to be parsed, you need to name the file with an extension of.shtml..shtmlWhen the server loads any document that ends with.shtml, it knows that is has to check for hidden SSI commands first.
