It's generally bad to allow php parse extensions like .html, as they usually
wouldn't have any php code and to make a few files to work, it's better to
rename those and setup a server side redirection if you want old links still work.

They will tell you to rename yourfile.html to yourfile.php, it's bad to let
parse maybe thousand of html pages to make your handful pages to work, when
you can get things work with a simple rename.

If you have a page like
--- example ---
<html>
<head><title>Title</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css">
</head>
</body>
<?php include 'navbar.php' ?>
Something
</body>
</html>
--- eof ---
Then you do not include any <html>-tag, nor head/body-tags, as the page will
look for the user like this:
--- example ---
<html>
<head><title>Title</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css">
</head>
</body>
<a href="index,php">Home</a><a href="www.example.net/page2.php">Another page</a>
Something
</body>
</html>
--- eof ---
If you add the <html>-tag, then you would get a none valid html code
--- example of bad code ---
<html>
<head><title>Title</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css">
</head>
</body>
<html><a href="index,php">Home</a><a href="www.example.net/page2.php">Another
page</a></html>
Something
</body>
</html>
--- eof ---
Some browsers may even not display this kind of broken page.

You don't need to include extra CSS for the included page, it will be using
the one you defined for the page, and I doubt you will be using different
CSS:es for each page, so you can have the part for the navbar in the main CSS.
In case you would have really special settings for each page, you break out
all that is common for each page, have it in once CSS that you include in each
page and then add just the CSS with page specific code in the header of each page.

There is a long tradition on ng to just quote what you reply to, but of course
there are quite many microsoft influenced people who tend to include the whole
previous post (including footers that never should be quoted) and even top
post too.
