Re: PHP webform as an alternative for subfiles

[B Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

My website (www.bvstools.com) is an SPA.  I've done of lot of them with
CGIDEV2 and eRPG SDK for customers as well.  I also heavily use SSIs.

They're (SPAs) great for internal things, but as I found out a bear for
public facing websites and SEO.  But I found a way around that for the most
part.
