You have to tell apache to handle .shtml files with the php handler, you can add:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .pro
to an .htaccess file, or your httpd.conf, if you add it to your httpd.conf comment out the line that uses that extension for ssi...

Why .pro ?


AddType application/x-httpd-php .pro

I think he did that as an example.... and his username is The Prohacker.

Use this:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .shtm .shtml
