Hello,
After a long hiatus I have decided to get back into working on my web project. I am confident with using HTML and CSS, but what I want to do is to "embed" external files into a master file. I asked this question not long ago and user Benjamin said to use PHP includes. Previously I was using the <object> tag and getting no results, but now when I use:
<?php include("directory/filename.php"); ?>
I can see the content area showing properly when I drag the mouse, but the content area itself is blank.
I'm using 1&1 as my web host. I contacted them on this matter and they said that to use SSI, I would need to upgrade my package to the Business package, which I did last night. Still the same thing is happening though where no content is loading. They replied back to me and said that they needed to look at my "SSI" file, which I had no idea I was supposed to even make.
I am wondering, what is this SSI file and what needs to go in there in order to properly use the <?php include("directory/filename.php"); ?> command?
Thank you.
