    To give a bit more information on the very extensions may help to
explain the problem, J.

    .php = PHP Hypertext Preprocessor (a recursive algorithm since PHP3)
    .shtml = SSI HTML (Server-Side Includes/HyperText Markup Language)

    SHTML is only used to include a file at the time the content is
being served by the host.  Conversely, PHP processes the .php script
at the time of request, but without any of the query string being
passed.

    Consider it as if the .shtml file is a browser on a remote
computer.  Whatever is inside the <!--#include virtual="(.*)"--> tag
will be processed exactly like that, but you can't pass any info to
that.

    If that just confused you even more, blame it on my lack of coffee
this morning....
