Lol. No kidding, it's totally out. All of the servers I've worked with (Tomcat v3.x-4.1, IIS, Apache 1.x-2, and some weird Perl servers) either didn't support SSI at all or just some commands. Like IIS supported includes, since ASP didn't provide a way to do it otherwise.

Does anybody know of an article anywhere that can go over the benefits of using php includes over standard SSI... or can anybody post some points here? My boss doesn't seem to understand the importance of php includes and says it's slowing me down.

Thats a great point.

Time a hundred PHP includes, and the same in SSI.

I think he'll have a different response when you present the findings.
