cool thanks, but i got 1 problem, my webpage file is index.html

i guess it has to be .php or .shtml

how would i go about changing that? and would i just be able to copy and paste the rest of the code? or would i have to start all over?

You can just rename the .html to .php and it will work like normal. Just that you have to call SSI.php inside php tags.

Code Select


<?php
require_once('/path/to/SSI.php');
?>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Title</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <?php ssi_recentTopics(); ?>
    </body>
</html>
