ok... this has been bothering me for awhile... how do I get a SSI into a PHP file with out editing httpd.conf (this is on my webhost so I can't change filename things).I know how to do SSI's and stuff, it's just I have to put one into news.php so that the page'll have my layout stuff, but SSI's have to be in .shtml files  ... I asked my webhost and they haven't responded with anything, and that was a couple weeks ago. ------------------

I dont know PHP but I know Perl - if theyre similar then why bother with a SSI? Surely you can just open the text file in PHP and use it in the HTML output? If you're dealing with newspro I think it chucks out text files, surely you can just open the file and parse it as part of PHP?Just my 2 cents, remember i don't know php Mike ------------------

You don't need to use SSI calls if your pages are being parsed for PHP, just use include():include "/path/to/file.inc";
-or-
include("/path/to/file.inc"); If you need to exec cgi, use virtual():
virtual("/cgi-bin/newspro.cgi"); You can only parse for multiple preprocessors (i.e. SSI or PHP) in Apache 2.0 and higher, but it's still in beta.

what I'm doing is a dinky little weblog. It uses news.php to add news, and latest.php to list the 5 newest articles, which reads from article_summary.html for the list of articles. What the SSI is supposed to do is something like <!-- #include "lasest.php" --> to list the news. I've tried the include() thing but it don't exactly work, and I made lastest.php output to a variable and I tried echo'ing the varible, but that doesn't work either. I'm probably doing something wrong, but if you can understand that "help a brovah out, y0"...  ------------------
