Why won't my function include work?

Question

I'm trying to include other page from other folder. and i tried this and it won't show the "side.php"

<?php
include 'side.php';
?>

And the "side.php" has:

<a href="/index.html">home</a>

Are you sure the path to side.php is correct? You said it's in another folder. — WindsofTime, Apr 12 '14 at 22:50
It's unclear what youre' asking here because you haven't showed your directory layout. -1 — Ryan, Apr 12 '14 at 23:13

Well you have the answer to your question inside your question.

" Im trying to include other page from other folder"

It means that you have to go inside that folder in order to access the file

<?php
include 'folder_name/side.php'
?>

or just copy the side.php file where your working file is so that all files are in one place

Maybe I'm wrong because I don't know php so it might not work but you could check this out Include PHP file into HTML file
