redirecting-invalid-shirt-ids not redirecting

I've been following this php 'Shirts 4 Mike' tutorial very closely, and all my code has functioned as predicted up until now. For some reason, although my code seems to be identical to Randy's, the redirect on erroneous or missing shirt id doesn't function: my page is just left blank. I've included the relevant section of code (nothing'd been modified since functioning properly):

<?php include("inc/products.php"); 

if (isset($_GET["id"])) {
    $product_id = $_GET["id"];
    if (isset($products[$product_id])) {
        $product = $products[$product_id];
    }
}
if (!isset($product)) {
    header("Location: shirts.php"):
    exit();
}

$section = "shirts";
$pageTitle = $product["name"];
include("inc/header.php"); ?>

Well I'm not sure what's happened, but it seems to be functioning now. Thanks for all the help you active community of users you!

Looks like it might have been the semi-colon at the end of this line header("Location: shirts.php"): you had a colon in the code you pasted.

Really! So hard to find little things in the code sometimes. Thanks for your hawk vision Ron!
