Hello I'm at the portion of the video to include the units.php file and I'm not able to get it to show. (I did save)

<section class="main"> <h1>My First PHP Page</h1>

      <h2>Unit Conversion</h2>
<?php include 'inc/units.php';?>
      <hr />

      <h2>Daily Exercise</h2>
    </section>

If someone could tell me where I went wrong I'd appreciate it.

You need to spell the directory correctly - it is case sensitive.

The code above has a lower case "i" for the Inc directory and in that workspace (follow that link) the folder has an uppercase "I" - if you fork the workspace and change the code to an upper case "I" it works as expected. (or rename the directory)

<?php include 'Inc/units.php';?>
