I'm not able to include any other PHP files in index.php

Question

So I am a newbie in PHP but I need to make an assignment, in which I have to put together a web page using PHP and MYSQL.

While I was creating my pages in PHP with ATOM text editor, I wanted to create the different elements of the page in separate files. For example, I created a head.php and a header.php, and I wanted to include them in the index.php.

No matter how I adjusted the path, I just couldn't get it to work.

I even tried:

-include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/includes/head.php")
    and require()
    and The full path to the file

Here are some screens to help you better understand.
This one shows the index.php with the including
This one shows the head.php with the path to the screen.css

try `include("./head.php");` Bcz you are in same direcorty level — Abdulla Nilam, Nov 19 '19 at 10:01
You have two files `head.php` one in your root and one in your includes directory but in the screenshot you show the one in the root so try like @AbdullaNilam suggested — WasteD, Nov 19 '19 at 10:03
@AbdullaNilam I just forgot to delete that one. The one I am trying to access is in the includes folder. Though before I deleted the one in my root folder, I tried your suggestion and sadly it didn't work. — cantsayimadeveloper, Nov 19 '19 at 10:08
Please edit the question to include the code - not as an image. — kaya3, Nov 19 '19 at 19:30

Change your include(s) to:

include(__DIR__.'/head.php');

or (older php)

include (dirname(__FILE__).'/head.php');

Otherwise your include directive will just search for the file using your 'php include path', which might be wrong.

Have a look here:

How to use __dir__?
