Then you'll want either the include or require directives.

My first post in this thread contains a direct link to documentation for the include directive. That documentation contains a link to the require directive. They are both methods of including code from an external page.

include()
require()

This might make things easier. I cant get the file header.php to open.
<html>
<head>
<title>
MY SITE
</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="format.css" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="head">
<?php
require "header.php";
?>
</div>
<div id="sidebar">
media
</div>
<div id="navigation"> 
links
</div>
<div id="content">
content
</div>
</body>
</html>

Is the file that's calling it have the extension .php? Or is the server configured to use the php parser on the filetype that it is?

To execute PHP code, the file that will execute it has to be a php file as well, and for that code to be executed, the server must be able to interpret the php code. You are able to view other pages that have php code because the server on which they sit can interpret php...you are only viewing them through a browser, not serving them as well. You may wish to have a closer look at some of the documentation...you can begin here for windows:
http://ca.php.net/install.windows

or here:
http://www.hostlibra...ql_php_on_linux
or here:
http://ca3.php.net/install.unix
for linux
