About Server Side Includes
Server Side Includes (SSI), a feature of certain web page servers, allow you to include a common function in a number of different web pages. Using SSI, you can quickly and easily insert or update design elements such as headers, footers, or navigation across many web pages.
A Server Side Include file works almost like an HTML
file. The only difference is that with an SSI file, the server must
look at each line in the file for SSI commands. If the server finds a
command, it tries to execute it. The output of the SSI command will
appear in the HTML text as if it were typed at the location of the SSI
command. SSI files commonly have the extension .shtml
at
the end of their filename.

command is
disabled. For more, see Use Server Side Includes.
