In our last episode, <47570A79.CAA856F0@thelogconnection.com>, the lovely
and talented Gary Hasler broadcast on comp.lang.php:

No, you can't. You can write out a file from php with SSI to be served
later and if things are configured properly that file can be parsed for
SSI, but you cannot serve a php file and have it parsed for SSI, nor can you
serve cgi with SSI that you mean to be parsed, include php via SSI, nor just
about any other combination you can think of.

This is a pretty reasonable limitation if you think about it --- just how
many bites at the preprocessing apple should a server allow you before it
sends the document out? Since it is trivial in php or cgi to do includes,
even includes which in other contexts may be done by SSI, this should not
pose many difficulties.
