Hi!

Search for "php shtml" [google.com]

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, meakip.

If you want your .shtml pages to be parsed as PHP you would need to add them to the PHP handler to be parsed by the PHP engine. However, since you are using PHP, why even use SSI anymore? You can do anything you want and more with PHP that you can do with SSI.

You will need to tell Apache that .shtml files should be parsed by PHP... Something like the following in your root .htaccess file should do the trick:

[code] AddType applicatiyou code]

I hope someone will confirm that this method works for .shtml files. :)
