including the header

I am having trouble getting the shirts and contact page to link in my shirts 4 mike project. I'm pretty sure that I have all the code the way it's done in the video. 

<html>
<head>
    <title><?php echo $pageTitle; ?></title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css" type="text/css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Oswald:400,700" type="text/css">
    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico">
</head>
<body>

    <div class="header">

        <div class="wrapper">

            <h1 class="branding-title"><a href="./">Shirts 4 Mike</a></h1>

            <ul class="nav">
                <li class="shirts"><a href="Shirts.php">Shirts</a></li>
                <li class="contact"><a href="Contact.php">Contact</a></li>
                <li class="cart"><a href="#">Shopping Cart</a></li>
            </ul>

        </div>

    </div>

    <div id="content">

It worked just the other day, although I couldn't get the underline to take effect on the links. any suggestions would be appreciated

are you sure you named your files with capital letters? shirts.php instead of Shirts.php etc?

yeah, I named my files with capital letters, so it is supposed to be Shirts.php and Contact.php. it shouldn't make a difference as long as I type it the same as I named it, right?

Hi Aaron, and "Contact.php" and "Shirts.php", exactly written the same, are in your root directory "./" and I assume that the link

<a href="./">Shirts 4 Mike</a>

works for you? Kind Regards Holger

Contact.php and Shirts.php are in my htdocs folder, which is the root directory, right? I think the problem is that my index.php won't pull up the site. If index.php doesn't work, then Header.php won't work. Contact.php and Shirts.php are in the Header.php file which explains why they don't work either. index.html does pull up the site, but the links don't work. thanks for your help.
