You most probably don't want to include URLs into your main php file, but the local .php-files. include ('/path/to/a.php'); instead of include ('http://url/to/a.php');

(source: http://php.net/manual/en/function.include.php)

You should never include files via an absolut URL, because you will not be including the actual code, but the result of it. Instead use relative paths or server paths (/home/user/public_html) Easiest way would be via relative paths. For example, if you have index.php and header.php in the same folder, you can just use: include('header.php'); If the files, are in another folder, for example you have header.php in an 'includes' folder, than you would use in your index.php: include('includes/header.php');

You probably need modify php.ini allow_url_include = On.

But better never include files via http.
