Using PHP include() inside Bootstrap 3 not working - php

Edited:
I am trying to use PHP include function to call "Navbar Header", "Navigation" and "Footer" section of my Bootstrap code, so that I do not have to make changes to all my HTML files when something changes in any of the above 3.
I am using Bootstrap 3.
Please assist me here, as I am not able to use the PHP functionality with Bootstrap 3. Thanks..
Below is my code:

You have too much duplication in your index.file. Code should only exist once. Look at your include lines and imagine the file being 'included' at that point...
Header.html
<html>
<head>
...tags...
</head>
<body>
Index.php
<?php include("includes/header.html");?>
<div class="container-fluid">
...stuff here..
</div>
<?php include("includes/footer.html");?>
Footer.html
<script>...</script>
<script>...</script>
</body>
</html>

You're including a whole page in every file.
The header footer and navigation files should only contain the parts of the html you want to include
So you have 4 head elements each calling in bootstrap.
This is never going to play nicely. Delete all of the tags in the partial files that do not contain markup specific to that page, and have one page with html>head>body structure that includes the parts of the other files

How do I convert a HTML static navigation into a WordPress navigation?

PHP: Allow User Change Background Colour Not Working?

I am trying to create a simple cms, with the ability to allow users to change the body background colour when a img is clicked, however I am unable to get the background colour to change? I am using php and GET variables to pass colour id info and sessions to save user input. I keep getting this error: "Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/CMS/index.php:1) in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/CMS/header.php on line 2" yet nothing is sent before session start? And how can I make my css body background colour change depending on which image is clicked? Can someone please shed some wisdom?
thanks in advance
The code:
<?php
session_start();
if(isset($_GET['colour'])) {
$colour = $_GET['colour'];
$_SESSION['colour'] = $colour;
}
$colour_session = $_SESSION['colour'];
echo "bgcolour = $colour_session";
?>

Here's the code for the footer:
<div id="footer">

</div>
</div><!-- end page -->
<!-- Latest compiled and minified JavaScript -->
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
So basically the dropdown that I'm attempting to add to the end of the navbar isn't dropping down. Why is it not doing so?
EDIT: I am running XAMPP and using Chrome.
Check your html document at https://validator.w3.org/nu/
Take a look at the (error) console of your browser
try it with
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.3.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
just put your jquery file before bootstrap.js file
<script src="script/jquery-3.2.0.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="script/bootstrap.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Please point out my mistake and correct it. Thank you !!
The following correction in your HTML:
<li><?php echo "Welcome, ".$_SESSION['username']; ?></li>
By the way, the else of you conditional serves absolutely no purpose, so remove it for clarity, brevity and correctness.
Regarding this code:
<li><?php echo Welcome $username; ?></li>
As it stands, the 'Welcome' will be understood by PHP as a constant that does not exist, but without concatenating it to the variable after, it will just throw a syntax error. I recommend using an IDE (e.g. Netbeans) so errors of this kind can be seen without needing to run the code.
Do this instead:
<li>
Welcome
<a href="login.php"
><?php echo htmlspecialchars($username, ENT_HTML5) ?></a>
</li>
I've made the fixed string part of the HTML - there is no value adding it to the echo statement.
I've also wrapped the output variable in a function to encode any angle brackets, to filter out any XSS attempts on your site. Remember that user input can be harmful, and needs to be treated with caution.
