Could it be that your footer is "inc/footer/php" when it should be "inc/footer.php"?

Let me know if that works

Hi rhysadams it works but now it say Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in /home/treehouse/workspace/index.php on line 19 .

martina carrington Try adding a ">" after the "include("inc/footer.php);?". To close of the PHP tag.
