Why does my PHP appear to be commented out when I view it in the browser? <!--?php include(“header.php”); ?-->

Question

I am building a html page but want to break the header out so I dont have to keep changing all the files.

I am attempting to add a php.include file and save the pag

You need to check if html page can run the php code or not.
If you are using Apache server for running html page, then the way to execute PHP on a .html page is to modify your .htaccess file. Put following code in .htaccess file:

//for .html:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html
// for .htm
AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm

Another possible reason can be : File is not available on the given location , so for that check the error_log.
