Apache 2.0 includes the concept of "filters", and multiple filters
can be combined to process elements on a page.  Thus, if someone
wanted to generate something in PHP, then process that output for
SSI, it can be done with the following Apache configuration directive:

   SetOutputFilter PHP, INCLUDES

However, few sites will do this as the default, as it increases server
processing overhead by a fair amount, and PHP can do just about anything
that one could do in SSI anyway.
