Server Side Includes (SSI) is a simple server-side language, which enables you to incorporate text from a specific source inside a website. In the most widespread case, the text from a file is included in another, providing a site the feeling that it is dynamic. As an example, in case your site comprises of 10 webpages, 5 of them can contain the content of any kind of file, for example horoscope.txt. As soon as you alter this text file, the modified content is going to appear on all of the five pages, which will help you revise your site much easier than if you had to change an element of all 5 web pages. Server Side Includes is sometimes utilized to incorporate the output of simple commands, scripts or functions as well - a hit counter that's displayed on the site, the present date and time or the customer's IP address. Every webpage that employs SSI must have a special extension - .shtml.
