I am trying to include a very simple header.html to my index.php but it doesn’t seem to work and i can’t get my finger on the problem:

Here is header.html code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8"/>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/master.css"/>
</head>
<body>
<header><img src="img/lys.png" class="logo_lys"/></header>
<nav>
    <ul>
        <li><a href="#">Accueil</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Équipes</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Tournois</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Scrims</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Forum</a></li>
    </ul>
</nav> 
</body>
<html>

Here is index.php code:

   [...content]
    <body>
    <?php //include("header.html"); ?>
    <?php include("header.php"); ?>
     <?php //include($_SERVER['C:/Documents and Settings/sabourma/Bureau/site_2']."header.html");?>
   [...content]
    </body>
    </html>

I tried to change header.html to header.php because i read if it’s in html the computer won’t process it.
I also tried to include the full path to my header, but it didn’t work.
Please note that all my files are local right now so it can’t be a server problem.
I also read php may be “disable” but have no idea what this means.

    From the comments below your question it seems like there might be two issues:

    • Either you don’t have php installed
    • Or you have it installed but it’s not running

    If you still need php software, you can find it here. After installing everything, there is a folder in it called “htdocs” where you can put your php files. In the browser, you can access this folder via “http://localhost/”. So, e.g., if you have a folder called “greatsite” in htdocs, you can access it in your browser via http://localhost/greatsite/

    If you simply haven’t activated php, open up the Xampp starter and enable php and apache.

    BTW: You can include html files like php files, both should work, that can’t be the problem.
