I have never used it o_O I use .xxx for just html just php and both >_> its mine! html works in it by default and php does cuz I added something to .htaccess so it would.
What exactly IS .shtml?

I was actually just thinking about shtml'ing my pages since I don't know php.

shtml is handy when you need to add the same information to a lot of pages, like a menu or a disclaimer. you would put the html code that is on all of your pages into a file, say, called "menu.txt". Then, in your regular html page where you want the menu to go you would put in:

<!--#include file="menu.txt" -->

Then be sure to save your page with an .shtml extension. with shtml, much like with .css you can change a bunch of pages just by editing one file.

I use SSI on all of my web pages. SSI replaces frames and is much better. SSI can only be used of .shtml pages. If you have frames on your site I strongly suggest that you switch to SSI and .shtml.

I also use SSI to feed random quotes and jokes in my site!It is great and I do this as I am not very familiar with PHP or asp.
Googlue!

I dont think that shtml should be incorporated into PHP and ASP. It still has its own function in web designing and has other types of websites which it is still used for. And it is not advisable to drop shtml. It is a good scripting lang and has its uses in web designing and other applications too.
