Clicking "View details" leads to catalog.php

I have changed get_item_html function according to the teacher's notes, but everytime I click View Details it brings me back to catalog.php without displaying any item details...

Would appreciate your help. Thanx!

details.php

<?php 

include("inc/data.php");
include("inc/functions.php");




if (isset($_GET["is"])) {
    $id = $_GET["id"];
    if (isset($catalog[$id])) {
        $item = $catalog[$id];
    }
} 

if (!isset($item)) {
    header("location:catalog.php");
    exit;
}


$pageTitle = $item['title'];
$section = null;
include ("inc/header.php"); ?>

<div calss="section page">
    <div class="wrapper">
        <div class="media-picture">
            <span>
<img src="<?php echo $item["img"]; ?>" alt="<?php echo $item["title"]; ?>"/>
</span>
</div>
<div class="meadia-details"></div>
<h1><?php echo $item["title"]; ?></h1>
<table>
    <tr>
        <th>Category</th>
        <td><?php echo $item["category"]; ?></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>

    </tr>
    <tr>

        <td><?php echo $item["year"]; ?></td>
    </tr>
    <?php

A misprint in if statement

if (isset($_GET["id"])) {
    $id = $_GET["id"];
    if (isset($catalog[$id])) {
        $item = $catalog[$id];
    }
}

had iS instead of id
