I installed abyss web server using the instructions and installed php following the instructions on http://www.aprelium.com/abyssws/php.html to the exact letter.

I tested out a php page I created in Dreamweaver as well as one I downloaded from a free scripts page and neither of these would work.

I followed the instructions on a previous post to create a file called phpinfo.php, I did this and it works fine which apparently suggests that php is working. so I then created a new file as below

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body><?php include(nav.php); ?>

</body>
</html>

the error message I get on screen in internet explorer is this

Warning: Use of undefined constant nav - assumed 'nav' in C:\PROGRAM FILES\WEB_SERVER\ABYSS WEB SERVER\htdocs\php\inc.php on line 7

Warning: Use of undefined constant php - assumed 'php' in C:\PROGRAM FILES\WEB_SERVER\ABYSS WEB SERVER\htdocs\php\inc.php on line 7

Warning: Failed opening 'navphp' for inclusion (include_path='') in C:\PROGRAM FILES\WEB_SERVER\ABYSS WEB SERVER\htdocs\php\inc.php on line 7

Please could somebody help cause its driven me nuts :?:
