Header not being included

Hi,

I'm working on "Redirecting After a Form Submission" on the PHP course. I followed the video but my header doesn't seem to load.

The CSS stylesheet isn't applied to the page either so I'm assuming that somethings wrong with my include(header) code but I can't seem to find what the problem is. Here is my code.

<?php

$name = $_POST["name"];
$email = $_POST["email"];
$message = $_POST["message"];
$email_body = "";
$email_body = $email_body . "Name: " . $name . "\n";
$email_body = $email_body . "Email: " . $email . "\n";
$email_body = $email_body . "Message: " . $message;

// TODO: Send Email

$pageTitle = "Contact Mike";
$section = "contact";
include("incude/header.php");

?>

    <div class="section page">

        <div class="wrapper">

            <h1>Contact</h1>

            <p>Thanks for the email! I&rsquo;ll be in touch shortly.</p>

        </div>

    </div>

<?php include("include/footer.php"); ?>

The footer does show up on the page. Any suggestions?

Yes, you didn't spell the word "include" correctly like you did in your footer tag. You are missing the 'L'.

Pro-tip: Spelling is the first thing I check when something doesn't work as planned. I would guess 75% of time it's the reason something is broken for me. I'm not a pro.

You're welcome. It's easy for your own brain to gloss over simple mistakes like this. You know what it should have been, so your brain reads it as correct even when it's not by mostly reading the first and last letter of the word and filling in the middle....

I realize your question was rhetorical, but I couldn't resist.
