All files to shtml.. What effect will that have?

EDIT - also, isn't the line I mentioned above just a comment line?

You'll need to change any links that use .html to use .shtml. That's about it.

It all depends on the server configuration. Most sites I know use .shtml for SSI-enabled pages, but it's possible to configure a server so that isn't required. It's mostly down to your provider so I can't say what is likely to work and what isn't.

Assuming Huddy's server is already set up for PHP (and most paid for servers seem to be), then all he'd need to do is use

<?php include("nav.php"); ?>

And make a nav page called nav.php (which would really be nav.htm simply renamed to .php).

Yup, and you'll need to rename your test.htm to test.php as well

That should hopefully sort it out

I thought you meant you'd looked at Counter Strike: Source code

Admiral Huddy · 08-01-2007, 13:47

Cheers mark and Davey, will upload the suggested tests tonight!

Sorry for noobness.

No probs mate. Hopefully one or the other will work. My PHP knowledge is all theory at the moment, not had time to put it into practise yet (despite installing a PHP enabled Apache server on my own machine :/), so I may be a bit off.

Mark · 08-01-2007, 13:51

SSI is still more efficient than PHP, but as it's not a high traffic site, it'll make precisely no difference whatsoever, so either option works.

Davey_Pitch · 08-01-2007, 14:11

More efficient in what way? Sever load?
