'PHP Include Nav-bar For Every Page Techniques?

I'm trying to clean up my code in my php web pages by including files to consolidate each page's code's like so:

File: head.php

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title> *Dynamic Page Title* </title>
<meta name"description" "Dynamic Description">
<link href="#">
</head>

File: footer.php

<footer>
   <ul>
      <a href="#"><li>Home</li></a>
      <a href="#"><li>Page 1</li></a>
      <a href="#"><li>Page 2</li></a>
   </ul>
</footer>
<script src="#">
</body>
</html>

File: navbar.php

<header class="navbar navbar-default navbar-static-top">
    <div class="container-fluid">
        <div class="navbar-header">
            <a href="#" class="navbar-brand"></a>
            <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse"><i class="fa fa-bars"></i></button>
        </div>
        <div class="navbar-collapse collapse">
            <ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
                <li class="active"><a href="index">Home</a></li>                    
                <li><a href="#">Page 1</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Page 2</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">FAQ</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Blog</a></li>
                <li><a href="#">Contact Us</a></li>
            </ul>
        </div>
    </div>
</header>

File: index.php

<?php include('head.php'); ?>
<?php include('nav-bar.php'); ?>
<body>
Index Page, Home has an active class
<?php include('footer.php'); ?>

File: Page-1.php

<?php include('head.php'); ?>
<?php include('nav-bar.php'); ?>
<body>
Index Page, Page 1 in nav-bar has an active class
<?php include('footer.php'); ?>

You guys get the main idea. I would like tips on how to add active classes in different pages in the nav-bar, and how to add different titles and meta tags to each page.

Any help?
