php web page not loading

I am not an expert but I am no noob at PHP, yet for whatever reason I am stomped as to why my document will not load. Here is my code.

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

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Home</title>
</head>

<body>

<p>Hello everyone</p>

</body>

</html>

When I pull out the PHP portion the HTML loads fine. Here is the code in my header.php file.

<?php
<href="index.php">Home</a>
?>

I have tried this on two different hosts, both of which are hosting other PHP websites and still getting issues. I have also validated it with W3Schools and another online PHP validator. Both didn't find any errors. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Enable errors to see errors, this way:

ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', true);

This code is a PHP error:

<?php
<href="index.php">Home</a>
?>

Try change to:

<?php
echo '<href="index.php">Home</a>';
?>

This:

<?php
<href="index.php">Home</a>
?>

Is no valid PHP. This would, however work:

<a href="index.php">Home</a>

Inside of the PHP-tags you can only use PHP - no HTML. Also, <href> is no HTML tag.

Look at this question How to get useful error messages in PHP? to find out, how to enable error messages in PHP.
