So my include PHP tag is not working for some reason. (I do have wamp server installed, so i can open .php files in browser)
index.php:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
</head>
<body style="background-color: #292727;">
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
include('header.php');
?>
</body>
</html>
header.php:
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
echo ' <div class="top_bar">
</div>
<div class="header_gif">
<div class="header_overlay">
</div>
</div>
<div class="sponsor_bar">
</div>
<div class="navigation_bar">
<div class="nav_container">
<a href="index.php"><div class="nav_bar_box" id="home">HOME</div></a>
<a href="index.php"><div class="nav_bar_box" id="brackets">BRACKETS</div></a>
<a href="index.php"><div class="nav_bar_box" id="teams">TEAMS</div></a>
<a href="index.php"><div class="nav_bar_box" id="news">NEWS</div></a>
<a href="index.php"><div class="nav_bar_box" id="info">INFO</div></a>
</div>
</div>';
?>
They are in the same folder. Do you have any idea why its not working?
Just having a _AMP stack installed does not magically make files load as PHP if you open them directly in your browser - they have to actually go through the server to be processed.
Consequently, this is wrong:
Something like this would be right: (depending on the server's document root setting)
An additional note that may be helpful, for people developing with PHP 5.4 or newer, is the built-in server. Open a command line to the folder you want to use as the root (such as your project folder), and run the following command:
You can now go to
http://localhost:8000/index.phpin your browser and PHP will run! I use this all the time for testing stuff locally. To shut down the server, simply Ctrl+C the command window. You can also usephp -S 192.168.0.128:8000(put your LAN IP there) to let other users on your network access your test server stuff too, great for showing off to coworkers ;)
