If you're using Apache, and you do
<!--#include virtual="something.php" -->
...the PHP in something.php will execute and produce output, but
something.php will not have any access to $_GET or $_POST or $_SESSION or any
of those things. This is generally not what you want. If you do
<?php include("something.php"); ?>
...then something.php will be able to see and work with the superglobals that
have been set up further up the page, which is *usually* what you want. You
could try both approaches in a test env and see what you get. I'll use SSI
for "dumb" blocks of text and php include for "smart" blocks of code, because
IME that tends to produce fewer instances of gross stupidity.
Note that YMMV on all this and ICBW.
