Server Side Includes (SSI) is a well-known server-side scripting language, employed to incorporate the content of one file inside of another file. It is employed principally with online content and it could make a static HTML site more dynamic. If you wish to have a daily quote shown on multiple pages on your website, as an example, you can make a text file and switch the quote in it every single day. All the webpages where this file is integrated are going to show the modified quote, so you'll not need to edit them by hand every single time. SSI may also be used to incorporate the output of basic functions rather than a static file - for example, the visitor's IP address, a hit counter or even the present date and time. By doing this, you may make your internet site seem a lot more professional and much more attractive to the website visitors. Web pages that use SSI have a .shtml extension.
