I Need Help

[CodeGraphics]

I should have posted this in PHP section, but each time I select PHP section I will be logged out. Certainly a bug.

[Mod edit: moved to PHP section]

I have a little PHP problem.

I am beginning to learn wordpress. I have created my header.php and added it at the top of my index.php like this:

  <?php get_header(); ?>

But I got this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header() in C:\wamp\www\wordpress\wp-content\themes\mytheme\index.php on line 1

But when I used:

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

It worked fine. What could be the cause?

get_header is a WP-defined function. Are you viewing the page via wordpress, or are you trying to view it directly?

…each time I select PHP section I will be logged out.

Clear your browser cache (or try [Ctrl]+[R]).

I am on a localhost.
My url looks like this:

http://localhost/wordpress/wp-content/themes/mytheme

That’s not how you should view pages within a WordPress install. If done correctly, it should just be http://localhost

It’s kind of the same when you go visit CSS-tricks (also WordPress) through https://css-tricks.com/wp-content/themes/CSS-Tricks-10/
