Yup, I believe so. PHP is a whole language with lots of overheads. SSI is pretty simple (and built into the web server).

It used to be the case many years ago that SSI performance sucked, but I've been reassured that isn't the case now.

Mark, the line of code I quoted above, is that correct because it comes out as a comment line?

New name is temporary until I can think up a new moniker. I'm tired of all the old ones. Too much baggage in one case, too long in another, and the others were only for the holidays anyway.

And yes, as far as I can tell, the code you used was correct, and (for Davey's benefit), that's including the .

The SSI is handled by the server and the line of code replaced with the file to be included before the browser interprets the HTML. As a result the fact that it shares the same syntax as an HTML comment is irrelvant. It's probably done that way so that if the SSI fails for any reason and the include instruction is passed to the browser it'll then see that as a comment and ignore it.

No, in other words, the comment tags are required.

I've noticed, quite obviously thinking about it, that the "include" actually copies in the code from the html code rather than calls it as a seperate procedure.

I can now make a quick fix to the other pages without the hassle of dupilcating all that damn code.

EDIT - Does any one know how I can make the table semi-tranparent?

I seem to recall that IE can't deal with transparency properly so it's generally best not to bother.
