    # PHP: introduction to `include();`

    For PHP code to execute, two things have to happen:
    1. The filename needs to end in `.php`
    2. The PHP code needs to exist between an opening PHP tag `<?php` and, optionally, a closing PHP tag `?>`

    ## Code before

    Contents of `index.html`:
    ```html
    <html>
    <head>
    <!-- header content here -->
    </head>
    <body>
    <h1>Page name</h1>
    <p>Page content</p>
    <footer>
    <p>Contact info here</p>
    </footer>
    </body>

    ```

    To seperate this out, we should consider which code we want to duplicate across every page, and move those over to separate files. We can make a new directory to hold those.

    ##### Before: directory structure
    ```
    index.html
    ```

    ##### After: directory structure
    ```
    index.php
    templates/
    - header.php
    - footer.php
    ```

    ## Code after
    The contents of `index.php` change to:
    ```php
    <?php
    include("templates/header.php");
    ?>
    <h1>Page name</h1>
    <p>Page content</p>

    <?php
    include("templates/footer.php");
    ?>

    ```

    New file: `templates/header.php`
    ```php
    <html>
