Can you hard link a virtual include? For example,



And you have numerous directories with html files that use that footer.html file? Or do i have to upload the footer.html to each specific directory and use ?

You can "hard" link it. I do it all the time. Menu's, headers, footers, etc. etc. Saves a lot of time when something needs to be changed.

Does it still have blah.com as the url?..

Maybe SSI isnt on the other box?

Is your file named .SHTML instead of .HTML?

You should be using PHP

<? include "http://www.blah.com/path/to/footer.html; ?>

I find php way more nicer to use for that as well.

you need to use a directory structure on your local server when using ssi. as far as i know you can't pull from other sites or files located on other servers.

you are able to use /dir/bah.txt

i'm not sure if using a html file will work either, you could try renaming it to txt (it will still output it as html)

I was going to say the same thing. You can even keep the pages .html and add a line to your .htaccess

you CANT hardlink using SSI - at least I have never been able to do it - those claiming to have done it either have a special server setup or are talking out their arses

As the last couple of guys said - php is the way to go - you can hardlink as you need to do without any hassles.
