SSI is to PHP as a GoCart is to a Ferrarri :-) *IF* your original page of HTML can be parsed as PHP, you'll have a lot less frustration and a lot more flexibility using: <?php include 'php1.txt'?> instead. But let's assume that you are: A) Stuck with the HTML being HTML. B) Don't need variables/data from php1.txt to transfer to php2.txt later in the script C) Are willing to accept the increased HTTP performance hit of <!-- #INCLUDE virtual...> which, I *THINK* will chew up another HTTP connection If you're okay with all of that, you probably just need to change php1.txt to php1.php so that when it is requested, Apache "knows" that it is PHP code, and not plain text. *.txt -> Apache mime-type makes Apache think it's plain/text *.php -> Apache mime-type makes Apache think it's PHP These are just the defaults. You can configure Apache with ForceType (and friends) to make all your .txt files pass through PHP, or all your .htm or .html files pass through PHP. Whether you really WANT to pass *ALL* .txt files through PHP is pretty questionable. All .htm and .html files through PHP is quite common and has many benefits. PS I got no idea how you managed to get the FIRST php block to work and not the second...
