adding SSI to php pages?

Is this possible

[rominosj]

Hello,

Is it possible to add SSI to php pages or only to html pages? I tried using SSI for php but it doesn't seem to work..

(ask in the php forum, this is the perl forum)

SSI tags generally need to be in .shtml pages to get parsed by the server, so putting them in .php pages is not going to work. But there should be no need to use SSI tags in php pages, use php functions.

You mean PHP include [us3.php.net]

KevinADC is correct in that using PHP you are already doing server-side includes, and a lot more. This past discussion and it's related links should help you on your way ...
