how to do ssi

[joeydood]

sorry for the lack of info... here goes, i'm gonna fill in the whole story here...

in html or asp, i can just put

PHP Code:

<!--#include virtual="/includes/test.txt"--> 


and bam, wherever that include directive is, test.txt is inserted.

now, what i'm trying to do is incorporate my menu buttons into a source .html file; and include that file in one of my templates.

it seems that i'm going to have to use the following method...

PHP Code:

<?php include ("test.htm"); ?>

because templates are...

please set me straight here someone...

not just plain html. they're php, right?

so if i want to include a .txt or .html file into a php template, let's say the header... i have to use the php include directive, correct?

lemmie know if i'm not making sense. this is driving me nuts and it's easy! sheesh! well it's all easy when you 'know' it!
