Questions about SSI's

Use it or Lose it?

Hi Guys

I am just wondering about the pros and cons of ssi's

Would ye recommend them for including a txt file in the body of a html file for content.

Therefore someone who does not have any html skills could update the txt file without messing arouns with the html code.

Can this work and is it as straight forward as putting the code of a ssi in the paragraph where i want the txt to go?

Thanks in advance
Barry

Ya, ssi is great for doing just that. The included file needs to be in html format too (unless you use <pre>). Pretty much all apache users around here are sold on ssi.

you may want to consider PHP when it comes to anything else than the following:

-display file size or modification date
-include some other file (also html). (please note the included file is not parsed for includes)

With my last site I did, i used php (I had some more difficult table layout, tables within tables)..

Yes, SSI is a great way to go. Use it for as much as you can.
