If an SSI include is within a webpage, does it neccesarily have to end in .shtml in order for you to see it? Can it end in PHP instead?

I believe it depends on how you have your Apache handlers setup. I *think* that you set the .php extension to the SSI handler (I forget what it is), then set it to the PHP handler. And I *think* that it will parse for SSI, then send it to the PHP interpreter.

But really, you don't need to use SSI in PHP. PHP has it's own include functions: include(), require(). And to exec CGI: exec(), passthru()
