Shtml?

[RMF]

Do any of you use SHTML for large websites?. I know HTML well, but haven't touched PHP or ASP. One thing I like about SHTML is how you can bring in other files into it. It really saves time when working with the menu. Mainly my question is, do you notice many problems with your server if you have a lot of SHTML pages?.

RMF,

shtml is a way to include separate files into one, however ensure that your hosts server is set up to parse shtml files as standard.

One other effect is that if the server you host your site is slow then this could effect the speed at which your pages resolve.

HAving said this check out this page for a site I am working on to show you shtml in action.

i havent had any problems using shtml

i dont use many shtml commands though apart from the server side includes - your site should be ok

You know what? I AM in the process of rewriting ALL my files at e.g. nameslave.com with PHP basically for saving time with the menu. So instead of SSI (server side includes), you simply use PHP include tags (e.g. <?PHP include('menu.inc'); ?>) embedded in your HTML; then you can call for those file (ending with .inc) up. Nice and neat.

yeah - most of my sites are deisgned that way - shtml will do the same but using php gives you the option of using all of phps features in the future if you want to
