8,600 PointsIn php to include another file you have 4 options:
include Will include a file, if the file is not found or fails to run; the rest of your script will continue with a warning.
<?php
include('example.php');
?>
require Will include a file, if the file is not found or fails to run; the rest of your script will be stopped and fail to load with critical error (very useful if the included file is essential for the rest of the script to function correctly).
<?php
require('example.php');
?>
include_once() and require_once() Functions the same as include and require but will only include the file once regardless of how many times you call the file.
<?php
for ($x = 0; $x <= 10; $x++) {
include_once('example.php'); // will only be included on the first loop.
echo "The number is: $x <br>";
}
?>
A .php file understands HTML so you can include CSS, JS, jQuery, Angular or anything you could normally do in an HTML file for example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles/global.css">
<script type="text/javascript" src="./scripts/jquery-2.1.4.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<header>
<?php require_once('header.php'); ?>
</header>
<main>
<div id="wrap">
<?php
echo 'This is my main content';
for ($x = 0; $x <= 10; $x++) {
?>
<div class="contentcell">
This HTML will be repeated in the PHP for loop and the number is <?php echo $x ?>
</div>
<?php
}
?>
</div>
</main>
<footer>
<?php require_once('footer.php'); ?>
</footer>
</body>
</html>
I do not fully understand your last two questions.
Hope this helps.

8,600 PointsYou should really follow the Web Design Track and PHP Development Track here on Teamtreehouse, almost all of your questions are answered within the first hour of each tracks basics.
https://teamtreehouse.com/tracks/web-design
https://teamtreehouse.com/tracks/php-development
1 - I am assuming you mean Javascript and not Java? (These are two completely different languages). To add a stylesheet to your HTML head using javascript you can use the following script (Should be compatible with all browsers including IE6):
var file = location.pathname.split( "/" ).pop();
var link = document.createElement( "link" );
link.href = file.substr( 0, file.lastIndexOf( "." ) ) + ".css";
link.type = "text/css";
link.rel = "stylesheet";
link.media = "screen,print";
document.getElementsByTagName( "head" )[0].appendChild( link );
You would need to place this before the closing head tag in your HTML, and do not include it in an external Javascript file or you may find when the page first loads it will render unstyled.
Alternatively it would be easier just to include your stylesheet using HTML for example:
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles/global.css">
</head>
2 - You require PHP and a webserver such as Apache installed on the computer/server you are running a .php file on.
3 - Sublime Text is just a text editor, refer to answer 2 for PHP and for Javascript you will require Javascript installed and enabled on the browser you are running your website from.
4 - You can create directories on a server without PHP or Javascript, you requrie PHP and Javascript to run PHP and Javascript (as mentioned in the previous answers).
5 - I'm assuming you mean how to preview your local files in Google Chrome from Sublime Text, you can simply just open your HTML file or PHP file (assuming an Webserver and PHP is installed) with Google Chrome, if it does not open by default in Google Chrome just right click the file and choose "open with" and select Google Chrome.
I sense from your questions you may need to start at the basics of how to design a website before jumping into Javascript and PHP.
I would reccomend the Web Design Track here on Team Treehouse:
