It just
ignores the include.
HTML does not have an "include" directive.
Please don't confuse PHP with HTML.
As an aside and for the avoidance of doubt, whilst they are not strictly
part of HTML, Server Side Includes (which include a #include directive)
are commonly available to plain HTML on many servers.
Server Side Includes execute server-side shell code, and these have to
be configured on the server.
Indeed so. The point in this context is where and how SSIs are accessed
by the website coder, and that is from within plain HTML. The fact that
they areexecuted by the server does not change this.
Why do you keep insisting that SSI has anything to do with HTML ?
It does not; it is a standard for executing shell code on-the-fly.
It has nothing to do with HTML.
As I said, SSIs are not part of HTML. But in reality they are associated
with HTML.
No, they're not.
As it says in the 'Apache Tutorial: Introduction to Server Side
Includes' at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/howto/ssi.html :
That's 10 years old.
SSI (Server Side Includes) are directives that are placed in
HTML pages, and evaluated on the server while the pages are
being served
Nothing there about SSI being intrinsically or otherwise "associated
with" HTML.
No, not "plain HTML".
Nevertheless, SSIs *are* accessed (both by the coder and by the server)
from what I can rationally only describe as plain HTML. Certainly, SSIs
are not themselves "plain HTML" but they are associated with "plain
HTML" and are placed within "plain HTML".
Only the last is true.
And so, whilst it is entirely true to say that HTML does not have an
"include" directive, it also true to say that HTML does have an
"include" directive available to it (i.e. available to the plain HTML
coder).
No, that is plain false.
If the server does not support SSI, it will not parse it and return the
HTML content as-is to the client.
Hence, it has NOTHING to do with HTML.
