PHP Includes gone from support files in toolbar

Hello this morning I fired up dreamweaver and noticed a negative development. I am accustomed to opening a file and seeing easy-access links to all the support CSS, Javascript and PHP includes available to the right of the source code in the toolbar. Now the php includes are gone. Does anyone know what happened to them and how to get them back?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

    I don't know what the problem was, but after discovering I couldn't perform a "Save As" either, I decided to try deleting the DW preferences. This resolved the problem(s). I quit out of Dreamweaver and deleted the following (Mac):

    When I restarted, the php includes became available again.

    Thanks to Nancy and Jon for your replies!

    Related Files is an option in your Preference settings.   See screenshot.

    Thanks but that's not the problem. "Enable Related Files" was active as it has always been. Also, related CSS and JS files are still showing, just not the PHP files any longer. For the record, I did turn off "Enable Related Files," restart, turn it on again, restart, and that didn't solve my problem.

    The PHP files are not listed in View: Related Files.

    View: Related Files Options: Refresh Related Files does nothing.

    DW may be having issue with your PHP, maybe an error was introduced somewhere else in the code and the program doesn't understand how to parse what it's seeing?

    As a test, what happens when you add a new include in a separate PHP tag to the <body> of the page?

    Go to View > Related Files.  Do you see them listed there?

    Go to View > Related File Options > Refresh Related Files.
