Hi I'm new at this and need a little help. I'm trying to set up a SSI on my index.php. I've got the include labeled as .shtml.. and as i said the main page is .php. this is the error i'm getting in my browser:

"The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

&lt;? virtual("top_nav.shtml"; ?&gt;
--^ "
any ideas?
thanks.. M

If you're using php, try using:

<pre id=code><font face=courier size=2 id=code>&lt;?php require_once("top_nav.shtml"; ?&gt; </font id=code></pre id=code>

Should work fine for menu includes.

Thanks Matt. I must be really doing something wrong because it's still not showing up. Maybe I've got the wrong idea about .php's. I thought .php was just a file extension. Is there more to it than that?

OK, so I now know what the problem was if anyone is interested. Apparently that hosting service doesn't support .php, it has to be .php4. Thanks for your help Matt!
