     <function>nsapi_virtual</function> is an NSAPI-specific function which
     is equivalent to &lt;!--#include virtual...--&gt; in SSI
     (<filename>.shtml</filename> files). It does an NSAPI sub-request.
     It is useful for including CGI scripts or .shtml files, or anything
     else that you'd parse through webserver.
    </para>
    <para>
     To run the sub-request, all buffers are terminated and flushed to the
     browser, pending headers are sent too.
    </para>
    <para>
     You cannot make recursive requests with this function to other PHP scripts.
     If you want to include PHP scripts, use <function>include</function> or
     <function>require</function>.
    </para>
    <note>
     <para>
      This function depends on a undocumented feature of the Netscape/iPlanet/SunONE
      webservers. Use <function>phpinfo</function> to determine if it is available.
      In the Unix environment it should always work, in windows it depends on the name of
      a <filename>ns-httpdXX.dll</filename> file.
      Read the note about subrequests in the NSAPI section
      (<link linkend='install.unix.sun.notes'>UNIX</link>,
      <link linkend='install.windows.sun.notes'>Windows</link>)
      if you experience this problem.
