call the table using this: <!--#include virtual="/pathto/recips.txt" --> in your html

is that right? seems too easy

Actually, it is really easy. I was intimidated at first too, but once you use it...you'll love it

The first 3 lines of my htaccess...
RewriteEngine on
AddHandler server-parsed .html
Options All -Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes

That third line tells the server it's ok to follow 'includes'...whether they be ssi or php.

You can save as either txt or html...doesn't matter a bit. Just be sure to use the right extension when including the file in your html.

<!--#include virtual="/pathto/recips.txt" -->

Yup, that looks right to me
