    If you go to this site i am working on www.hcsauxiliary.org you can view the source and see clearly that I have included a php file through a php include call. The file is in the same dirctory and I was including html code that I know works, but it seems like PHP isnt working on the server at all or something like that. I am pretty sure it supports it, but is there like some sort of htaccess file or php.ini file to initiate it or something? any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

    The simple solution is to use a ".php" extension instead of ".html" extension. Giving you "index.php" instead of "index.html"

    ok that works! So what is the "more complicated" solution? A line a parsing code to add to htacces?

    Yep.

    AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .html
    Code (markup):
    Note that a new htaccess file will take a short while to take effect, but if you add that to an existing htaccess file it should take effect immediately.
