Using the XBitHack on setting in .htaccess ONLY parses your .html files that have permissions of 755 to be parsed. Normal HTML & PHP files should have persmissions of 644

The other option is to do the AddHandler .htaccess entry, or updating httpd.conf in apache, which WILL cause ALL .html to be parsed for SSI - and that will drag a server to its knees if you have lots of domains running and/or tons of pages and/or traffic.

Ok that explains it, I was thinking of AddHandler which I tried once for about 90 seconds, just about crashed my server and stopped my php pages from working.
