How to put common html code into php files and include them in pages?

[Barons]

I've got the same header code on each of me pages. I'd like to add this to a php file and include it in my pages so i'll be able to go into one file to make changes across all my pages.

 

I've getting a syntax error when I try to do this. It looks like it has something to do with my tags. The error is saying the < > signs are causing an issue.

 

Any idea how I fix this?

 

Pretty much this is what I have so far.

 

nav.php

<?php

<div id="nav">
<ul id="list-nav">
<li><a href="index.php">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="files/bad.php">Bad Boy</a></li>
<li><a href="files/good.php">Good Boy</a></li>
<li><a href="games.php">Games</a></li>
<li><a href="contact.php">Suggestions</a></li>
</ul>
</div>

?>

 

All html files:

<?php include('files/navbar/nav.php'); ?>

 

Thanks for the help.

Try taking the <?php ?> tags out of the nav.php. There is no need for them.
