html file conflict in includes folder

I duplicated and renamed an html file

[Nowhere_Man]

they are both left columns in the same location placed on php pages, but now one file updates on some pages and the other on others. When I try to delete a file (on the remote e.g.) I only get error signals:

Warning: include(includes/leftcolumn_video.html) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in D:\Hosting\3855839\html\how_public_works.php on line 167

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You will have to delete this:

include 'includes/leftcolumn_video.html';

code from the PHP file or create the file again so it doesn't display that error.

But there is no PHP file and the code leftcolumn_video.html doesn't exist in this root folder in an active webpage to delete...that's my deliemma.

>>But there is no PHP file

Sure there is, it says so right in your error message and it tells you where the PHP file is located that is causing your error:

No such file or directory in D:\Hosting\3855839\html\how_public_works.php on line 167
