My PHP abilities are gone.

I have completely lost me touch with PHP.  I tried to simply use a simple include(“file”); to allow me to simply make some footers and headers on a static site I was working on.  Shouldn’t be that hard, right?  Well, everything that I tried didn’t work, when I would go to the page it would download the source file rather than show me what I wanted.

I spent about an hour going through forums, searching and searching on Bing and Google to see if there was something that I could do.  So now, well, I am back to Wordpress as the default.

Modern Abstract Background

The issue I didn’t just use wordpress in the beginning is that I am noticing huge speed issues when I have multiple sites on the same hosting account.  Even without any plugins enabled they seem to crawl.  If I figure out what is going on with it I will let everyone know.

Help me?

So do you think you know what I was doing wrong?  Please let me know in the comments.  I have already decided to jump to Wordpress for this site, but in the future I would like to be able to develop some static sites again.  Without pulling out my hair.
