I recently made an emergency transition of a customer site over to Winhost, and it didn't occur to me that Server Side Includes wouldn't be available, I mean they're just such a basic feature right? Anyway, I'm not going to whinge about a feature I'm not getting, in stead I'm going to do something productive and share my solution to this problem. To get this customer running as fast as possible, I simply converted their server side includes over to php includes. I then had to add a handler for shtml (all of their files with includes were .shtml files) and tell the php engine to process them. So convert all of these Code: <!--#include virtual="include.htm"--> over to Code: <?php include("include.htm");?> And in the IIS Manager (not in the control panel), under "Handler Mappings", we need to add a new "Script Mapping" that takes *.shtml and executes C:\php\php5isapi.dll Voila, all of my shtml files are now processed like php and the includes run. Disclaimer! I'm not claiming that this is a great best practice, but I was in a hurry and it works. I hope this saves someone else from the half day it's wasted of mine trying to sort out a solution.
