Answer to this code challenge so I can study this.

Within the current directory, I have created a file named favorites.php that displays a few of my favorite things. Add the php code blocks and include that file so that my favorite things display below the heading.

<html> <head> <title>A Few of My Favorite Things</title> </head> <body> <h1>A Few of My Favorite Things</h1> </body> </html>

This is my answer don't know why i'm getting this wrong.

<html> <head> <title>A Few of My Favorite Things</title> </head> <body> <?php include 'inc/favorites.php';?> <h1>A Few of My Favorite Things</h1> </body> </html>

index.php 
<html>
<head>
<title>A Few of My Favorite Things</title>

Your include function should be on line 7, below the <h1>.

Also, the file is located in the same directory as the .html file. It isn't in an inc/ directory.

On line 7 of the challenge:

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

I know this is old but I am so confused why we need the ; when it runs just fine without. Even in the work that we did in index.php project prior to the challenge, it was never instructed to use the ;. UGHHHHHHHH -__-
