Demo Server Includes

Our server does support both Server Sides Includes (SSI) and Server Side Execution.

For a "basic" explanation of "include files" you must consult an HTML text. Regarding usage: all files which use includes must end in the file extension (.shtml). If you want your default home page to use includes, then name it: index.shtml (the server will look for that file name before index.htm or index.html).

This file uses both forms of server includes. If you want to see the versions of these files and be able to actually view the source (before it is interpreted by the server), look at these:

share_include.html
This file is IDENTICAL to the one you are viewing now, except the file extension was changed to just HTML -- you won't see the included documents!
standard.html
script_include.html
In what follow we invoked different types of includes, and yes, you can include a file from an included file....
NOTE: for security reasons you are only allowed to execute programs within your CGI area, using your CGI URL.

The next HTML line contains the text: <--#include file="standard.shtml" -->

End of included document

Remote host:

The next HTML line contains the text: <--#include file="script_include.shtml" -->
