I think we have a problem with index page. When index.php is loaded, it includes header.php. But there is no $section variable definition in the index page, so an error occurs.

$section = "";
in the index.php

isset($section) &&
to the if statement this will also work.
if(isset($section) && $section == "shirts"){echo " on";}

Courses Plus Student 560 Pointswhy do you think is that necessary to create that empty $section variable? does it mean that the page is loaded before the "include" command is executed? It wouldn't make sense.
