PHP simple Includes not working

I have this in my html page where the footer would go:

<?php include './includes/footer.php'; ?>

And I have an includes file named footer.php inside an includes folder on the site's root directory with this in it:

<footer><p>© Foothills Rehabilitation LLC Idaho Falls, ID 83404</p></footer>

Why is it not working? It's like it doesn't see the includes file.

Thanks.

Thanks so much. I had just forgotten to change the .htm to .php on the file. But I learned a few things from your comments.

If you're new to PHP and want some good learning resources, this article can help point you in the right direction. If you're an experienced programmer looking for PHP-only guidance, just skip over the elementary parts that you already know.
