Server Side Include (SSI)

Also referred to as SSI. An HTML command used to place up-to-date data or boilerplate into a Web page before sending it to the user. For example, it can be used to retrieve the current date and size of downloadable files that are constantly changing. It can be used to insert a boilerplate message where only the boilerplate needs to be changed to bring all the pages up-to-date. HTML pages that contain server side includes often use the .shtml file extension.
