Apache's docs aren't half bad either:

[httpd.apache.org...]

This is, of course, very basic authentication (read: NOT VERY SECURE).

[coopster]

Server Side Includes and eXtended Server Side Includes.

werd thanx so much I will read this over, along with what else I have found about it online and come back with more questions of course.

[leliphent]

Using xSSI variables seems very similar to what you can accomplish using PHP... which would you suggest using? a mix of both?

[coopster]

I've never used XSSI so can't really compare/comment. However, I do use PHP (Perl and some others as well) and have found it offers quite a bit over standard SSI. Do I still use SSI? Sure, once in awhile, but if I had my option I would go with PHP.

I am attempting to get php to work content similar to how frames would work... this is the layout i have in mind, and I am running into walls trying this...
