in reply to SSI Not being processed

SSIs are great if you have duplicated content on an essentially static site. However, you're trying to create dynamic content, so you may as well go all the way and adopt a template system like HTML::Template or Template Toolkit. Both of those solutions are good (and there are other good ones) and will give you greater flexibility in the long run.

    Thanks for the suggestion, and it is a good one.

    Unfortunately, I do not think that I would have time to redevelop all 500 odd pages of the site before I leave the position in less than a week and a half.
    Also, the amount of dynamic content, compared to static content, is quite small, as the majority of the site is made up with legal information etc. that only changes when the government passes a new tax law or something like that.

    I do not think that this size is set up in the most 'maintainer' friendly manner, but my suggestions and comments have not always been respected or taken notice of, hence the leaving.

    Thanks for the comments
    Gerard.
