Server Side Includes (SSI) is a basic server-side language, which lets you incorporate text from a specified source in a web page. In the most popular situation, the text from one file is incorporated in a second one, giving a website the sense that it's dynamic. For instance, if your website consists of ten web pages, 5 of them can have the content of some file, such as horoscope.txt. If you change this text file, the new content will come up on all of the five web pages, which will permit you to bring up to date your site faster and easier than if you had to change a component of all five pages. Server Side Includes is sometimes utilized to incorporate the output of basic commands, scripts or functions as well - a hit counter that is displayed on the website, the current date and time or the visitor's IP address. Any webpage that employs SSI will need to have a unique extension - .shtml.
