Hi everyone. I wonder if anyone knows how I could run SSI on a Windows based platform, as opposed to what I’m used to running it on a Unix platform.  
This is how I’m used to linking to the include file on a Unix server:  
\<?php  
include ‘[http://www.mysite.com/includes/header.php](http://www.mysite.com/includes/header.php)’;  
?\>

How would I write this for a Windows platform?

Also what would I name the include file, or what extension would it use?

Thanks
