I got the include file Navbar.php properly sorted out, but the main problem is Pingendo. For some reason it changes the php include code to <!--?php include("Navbar.php"); ?--> on its own. I have to open the file in another code editor in order to properly format the include code, but when I did that everything worked as expected.

OK, like I said I'm a complete newbie... I believe the problem is that the navbar.php file has included <html> <body> <head> stuff that needs to be stripped out, which I did not know before. I'm going to give it a try just using notepad and see what happens. I also have dreamweaver but was using pingendo to easily build a responsive site.

I figured as much. I'm using Pingendo. What I did was create the "Navbar" and "test" pages and had to save them as .html pages. Pingendo gives no option to save as php. Then I simply changed the .html extension to .php for both. I'm going to try editing the code in another editor and see what happens.

Warning, I'm a complete newbie with very little coding experience. I'm creating a website with bootstrap using a wysiwyg front end, but I can also modify the code. I'm trying to create a bootstrap navbar that will be applied to each page in the website using php include on the server side. I have created "Navbar.php" that includes just the navbar, no css or anything. I have created a test page "test.php" with a simple paragraph. I'm placing the PHP code right after the <body>. The code I'm trying to use to pull "Navbar.php" into "test.php is: <?php include("Navbar.php"); ?> However, as soon as I save the page the code automatically changes to: <!--?php include("Navbar.php); ?--> This code is grayed out. Now at the same time, I am able to include a css in the "test.php" page and it styles the page just fine, using the php include: <style> <?php include("default.css"); ?> </style> What am I doing wrong with the navbar such that it won't show up on test.php? I don't know if this makes a difference, but the "Navbar.php" page is originally saved as an .html page by the bootstrap front end, which I then just changed the extension to .php.
