Server Side Includes (SSI) is a well-known server-side scripting language, that is employed to add the content of one file inside a second file. It is employed typically with online content and it could make a static HTML website more dynamic. If you want to have a daily quote displayed on a variety of webpages of your website, as an example, you can make a text file and switch the quote in it each day. All the webpages in which this file is incorporated will display the updated quote, so you'll not need to modify them manually each time. SSI could also be used to contain the output of basic functions rather than a static file - for example, the client's IP address, a hit counter or perhaps the present time and date. This way, you may make your site appear far more professional and more appealing to the website visitors. Pages that implement SSI get a .shtml extension.
