a few ways:

1. use ssi to include the php file, the file is parsed and the html =
output included by ssi
try
 <!--#include virtual=3D"../includes/breadcrumb.php" -->

2. it's a server issue, this is one of the new features in apache 2, the =
output of one module can be parsed by another now, so upgrade your =
webserver.

3. if it's a php script use require, include or just plain read the file =
and echo it or do an eval() on it.
