SSI in PHP?

[keko]

Can we use SSI's in PHP scripts?

thank you

use this:

<?php
include("file.inc");
?>

[DLG_1]

be careful using plain "*.inc" because some webservers don't parse this info and anyone can see the actual script when they enter the scripts location.

mine was a connection include file for my database and when I entered the url to it's location i could see the password.

in other words you can also use php3.

Sam: you're totally right. For sensitive files (i.e. with passwords etc.) I use the extension .php (or .php3 as you suggested) so that the script in the include file will be parsed.

Golden tip: Don't forget to put <?php ?> around the script in include files, else they won't get parsed! (thanks, Karl)
