Whoops, sorry coupe-r! Your solution was also correct, the only reason it didn't work when I tried it is because I didn't properly refresh the server. *blushes* Thanks a ton for helping me out. I really thought this server's PHP was configured to parse HTML files You guys rock!

You are right Pikachu, I thought the server was properly configured to parse HTML files but it appears as if it wasn't. I'll have to get my server admin to help me out with that. Thanks a ton for figuring this out for me. Much obliged!!

But I've changed the names of all the files to end in .php instead of .html and the exact same thing happened, even when I refreshed the entire server and reloaded all the files (so they're only php) and refreshed on multiple browsers. (D'oh, changing to php works when I allow the server to actually update.)

That's exactly what I'm saying. PHP should replace that line with the menu.php file located here: www.wearenip.com/menu.php Why is that not happening? Thank you for your help.

Look, all you have to do is go to: www.wearenip.com/home.html and click on "View page source" in your browser. Look and see it even pinks out the one PHP line of code: wtf? That should have my menu in HTML form, not a pinked-out or greyed-out PHP code.

I've tried renaming the file home.php, I've tried making a NEW php file from scratch, making a NEW php file from DreamWeaver, I've tried everything on multiple computers and multiple servers and different kinds (Apache, etc) and can not get a single instance of <?php include("menu.php"); ?> to work at all, period. Has anyone else ever got this to work? Every single website says this is all you have to do is include this one line of code in your HTML. I've tried using 'menu.php', "www.wearenip.com/menu.php", 'www.wearenip.com/menu.php', literally HUNDREDS of combinations of computers, servers, browsers, etc. I'm banging my head against the wall. I can't get a single PHP script to run, even if it's as simple as ECHO'ing hello world.

This is my website: www.wearenip.com/home.html This is the menu that should appear on the left hand side, but doesn't: www.wearenip.com/menu.php This is my server's output saying that php is running just fine: http://wearenip.com/phpinfo.php I'm using this code in the left side bar div: <?php include("menu.php"); ?> The PHP file will not display from the HTML file no matter what I do. I've tried using every possible combination of file linking including /menu.php ./menu.php and even the full http://www.wearenip.com/menu.php etc etc etc I'm genuinely upset about this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. PS: I can't get any PHP file to properly include in any HTML file on any computer I have. Nothing displays whatsoever regardless of what is in the PHP file, even if it's just a text word. Doesn't matter if it's hosted on a PHP compatible internet server or just on a local server or just on the local machine itself. Nothing.
