I'd like to include a .shtml file in a .php page. I know it is possible, as i have done it before (though i've forgotten the code). Please can someone help?

4Why not just use a php include or file_get_contents? shtml isn't used much these days. – Rich Bradshaw Nov 27 '12 at 21:24

Did you try :
echo file_get_contents('/includes/header.shtml');
// or
echo file_get_contents('includes/header.shtml');
It might work.
But I would just start converting all the templates to any of available php templating engines.

1Can us tell what is your folder layout. As `'/include/header.shtml'` does not seam right – E_p Nov 27 '12 at 22:00

/includes/header.shtml is correct since the folder "includes" is in the top-level of the domain and the shtml file is within it. the test.php file is in a folder also in the top-level of the domain. – Aqr Aqr Nov 27 '12 at 22:03

Based on your last comment I was right. You need `echo file_get_contents('includes/header.shtml');` or even just `require 'includes/header.shtml';` would work. Just try it. – E_p Nov 27 '12 at 22:12

I've found out it only works when specifying an absolute url, e.g. `echo file_get_contents('http://sitename.com/file.shtml');`. Otherwise, the SSI will not parse and remain HTML comments. – mnsth Mar 03 '15 at 13:19
