Server Side Includes (SSI) is a basic server-side language, which enables you to incorporate text from a specified source in a website. In the most widespread situation, the text from one file is included in a second one, providing a website the sense that it's dynamic. For instance, in case your website involves 10 web pages, five of them can have the content of any kind of file, such as horoscope.txt. If you ever alter this text file, the new content is going to appear on all of the five web pages, which will allow you to update your website much easier than if you had to update an element of all 5 web pages. Server Side Includes is sometimes used to incorporate the output of simple commands, scripts or functions as well - a hit counter that's shown on the website, the present time and date or the visitor's IP address. Every web page that makes use of SSI must have a special extension - .shtml.
