My contact link is not working. My header and contact page starts with include statements which for some reason is not displaying in text area. I can assure you there are accurately written. My contact and header page looks like this.
header page
<?php include('inc/header.php'); ?>
<html>
<head>
<title><?php echo "Shirts 4 Mike"; ?></title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css" type="text/css">

6,877 PointsWith your navigation can you take a screen shot of the different files within the project so I can see if it might be a spelling error, because your link should open the contact.php file just fine if that is the directory that it is in. However if it is not in the same directory that the index.php is located in you will need to point it to the correct directory.
Please get some screenshots, and then if the issue is not resolved I will see if I can help you any further.
Also just glancing at it one more time I noticed you are including your header.php into your header.php. You should not include a file into its self, if I am looking at that wrong again let me know so I can help you out.

8,562 Pointshi Johnathan, I am so grateful, for your quick reply. I tried to copy and paste my screen shots in the text area, but it is not working. is it possible I share the pictures with you on dropbox, or google. Or if you know of any other means I can share the files with you. Thank you so much....
As regards to the last statement, my header.php file is in my include php folder (inc) and the contact. php file is in the htdocs.

12,385 PointsIf I'm reading this correctly, it would appear that your header.php file is including itself. This creates a loop that won't load. Try removing the include from your header file.
