Preserved Topic: SSI and PHP

Hey all, I have a bit of an issue... (Lets face it, I have many issues)
I have a chat program, and to be able to list the occupants I have to
use SSI, in a .shtml page. The thing is, my site is PHP and I'd like to
get the same results within PHP. The SSI looks like this.
<!--#include virtual="../cgi-bin/chats/public.cgi"-->

I don't know what to try that wont just pull in the text from the CGI.

All help is appreciated, thanks

If PHP on your web server is configured to treat HTTP URLs as local files you can simply use include() function...

<?php

include("http://www.yourserver.com/cgi-bin/chats/public.cgi");

?>

Optionally, you can use virtual() function which emulates "virtual" SSI call...
