a file that is included within the current document on the server
a line of code in an HTML document that gets processed by the server each time the page is loaded
a way of calling a procedure directly from an HTML document
a way to include the results of a Perl script in a page in real time
A server-side include (SSI) can either be a variable value that you want to appear on a web page (like the date and time that the page was loaded on the visitor’s browser – in which case it must pull this information from the server) or it can be static information that you want included on several pages. For instance, you might have 50 pages on your site and want to use the same navigational bar on each one of these pages. Without including the same information on all the pages or using frames, you can make one file that contains the navigation bar and call to the SSI file on the 50 pages. This way if the navigation or URLs in the navigation change, then you only have to update the one file and not the same information on all 50 pages.
A command that tells the server to include other information with a document being served, kind of like the waitress grabbing the sauce and the salt and pepper on the way to your table.
Server-side includes allow users to create documents that include information that is re-generated each time the document is accessed.
HTML Tag that provides attaching of data from other html pages.
A file or value of an environmental variable, that is included in an HTML document, so that information such as last date modified, file size, author etc. can be automatically included.
The facility provided by most web servers, e.g. NCSA httpd, to replace special tags in an HTML file with the contents of another file before the file is sent out by the server, i.e. an HTML macro. Source: Dictionary.com
A technology where the web server inserts the contents of one file or the output of a directive into the page being sent to the requesting user. Commonly used to add a header, footer, or navigation elements to pages where the element is the same on many pages. By editing the contents of the header or footer file the change occurs across all pages that include that file. SSI is used to include the files output by Coranto into a web site's pages. This allows the content generated by Coranto to integrated with the site. See: Wikipedia Entry
An SSI is a command that directs the server to run a program, usually in the PERL programming language. SSIs are server-specific.
