When I arrived at my hosting company, I soon heard
of server-side includes (SSI) and was gunning
to try them out.
To my disappointment, I found out that my hosting
company did not support SSI. Answers to my protests
were of the form use PHP intead.
I didn't know what PHP was, and a trip to the
official PHP site provided me the feeling the
monster was too fierce for me to tackle. I was
wrong. But once you know PHP, the fundamentals
are so simple that no one ever bothers to explain
them, which can make PHP seem unreachable to
the non-initiated. With any luck my PHP section
will get you a little educated.
If you know zero about PHP and are speculate
what all the fuss is about, or if you want to
know how to use PHP to replace SSI, you will
find the answers here.
