I have a .html file and I'm trying to include a few other html files into it. This is the jist of the code I have now:
index.html
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>
<?php include("header.html");?>
Here is some content
</body>
</html>
header.html
<div>
content lalala
</div>
When I open the page, all I see is
Here is some content
Now, I've tried renaming the header.html to header.php, tried single quotes (') and double quotes ("). I thought I may have done the url incorrectly so I tried writing it a couple of different ways ("http://www.domain.org/header.html", "/header.html"). So, basically, nothing's worked and I would really appreciate any help you guys have. I've done a decent amount of website work before, but this is my first time dealing with php so I'm a bit confused with how it works and how to solve the problem.
Thanks.
Or if that is generally ok with you, you could Parse PHP with HTML file extension [webmasterworld.com].
. . . and welcome to WebmasterWorld.
I would say it was not configured properly as Habtom's link will clarify

Do I have to change .html to .php? [webmasterworld.com]
AddHandler is really the correct approach but it depends on which type (cgi versus module) and which version of PHP you are running. Details in the link provided.
<?php include("header.html");?>
make this 3 lines to be acurate:
<?php
include ('header.php');
?>
I say this because you can not have any spaces before or after the closing?> php code.
if your going to work with php (even if the majority of your code is html, you should genneraly name them .php, this is also a good security practice as you can prevent users from directly accessing your include pages:
in the top of each page included:
<?php
if (!defined ("NameYourDefine")){
echo "YourMessage";
exit ();
}
?>
inside index.php just above your include link add:
<?php
define ("NameYourDefine",1);
?>
and that sjpuld do what you are looking for.
