php include echo error

I am trying to use the php include tag for my header and footer, and can't seem to find the problem. My include code is fine in my index file, and my header.php file shows no errors, but t doesn't include the file when I preview it in a browser. Is this an easy fix or am I missing something.

My index.php file include snippet

<div id="container">
   <?php include('include/header.php');?>
<div id="body">

My header.php file code

<?php 
echo <<<END
<header>
<nav>
<li onclick="location.href='index.html';"  style="cursor:pointer;"><a href="index.html" class="active">Home</a></li>
<li onclick="location.href='#';"  style="cursor:pointer;"><a href="#.html">Contact</a></li>
<li onclick="location.href='#';"  style="cursor:pointer;"><a href="#.html">FAQ's</a></li>
<li onclick="location.href='#';"  style="cursor:pointer;"><a href="#.html">Product Solutions</a></li>
<li onclick="location.href='#';"  style="cursor:pointer;"><a href="#.html">Services</a></li>
<li onclick="location.href='#';"  style="cursor:pointer;"><a href="#.html">Request a Quote</a></li>
</nav>
</header>
END;
?>

Change this line:

<li onclick="location.href='#';"  style="cursor:pointer;"><a href="#.html">FAQ's</a></li>

With this:

<li onclick="location.href='#';"  style="cursor:pointer;"><a href="#.html">FAQ\'s</a></li>

The error was this:

FAQ's

And I changed it to this:

FAQ\'s

It seems ok on my computer. Are you sure that's your header file is the right directory? It should be:

---- index.php
---- include (directory)
     |---- header.php

If it's ok you must file permissions and be sure that index can include the header file.

Why do you need to use heredoc syntax?

Why not do this instead:

<?php
    ... some code ...
?>

<header>
    <nav>
        <li onclick="location.href='index.html';"  style="cursor:pointer;"><a href="index.html" class="active">Home</a></li>
        <li onclick="location.href='#';"  style="cursor:pointer;"><a href="#.html">Contact</a></li>
        <li onclick="location.href='#';"  style="cursor:pointer;"><a href="#.html">FAQ's</a></li>
        <li onclick="location.href='#';"  style="cursor:pointer;"><a href="#.html">Product Solutions</a></li>
        <li onclick="location.href='#';"  style="cursor:pointer;"><a href="#.html">Services</a></li>
        <li onclick="location.href='#';"  style="cursor:pointer;"><a href="#.html">Request a Quote</a></li>
    </nav>
</header>

<?php ... more code ... ?>

<!-- more html -->

You don't need echo. Any HTML not within tags are automatically outputted anyways. Remember that PHP is based on HTML. You can think of PHP as HTML with <?php?> tags mixed in.

what do you mean by 

echo <<<END ???

however the file header.php is in a separate folder ? look at in the console to see if it can locate the file or not... for me i used to work with :

require_once("include/header.php");
