shirt.php not working

So I'm working on shirt.php, and the Image, page title, and breadcrumb are not displaying. I downloaded the project files and they worked. Here's shirt.php :

<?php 
include('inc/products.php');
 $product_id = $GET["id"];
 $product = $products[$product_id];

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

?>

  <div class="section page">

    <div class="wrapper">

      <div class="breadcrumb"><a href="shirts.php">Shirts</a> &gt; <?php echo $product["name"]; ?> </div>

      <div class="shirt-picture">
        <span>
          <img src="<?php echo $product["img"]; ?>" alt=" <?php echo $product["name"];  ?>">
        </span>
      </div>

    </div>

  </div>

<?php include('inc/footer.php'); ?>

shirts.php 

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

$pageTitle = "Mikes Full Catalog of Shirts";
$section = "shirts";
include('inc/header.php') ?>

    <div class="section shirts page">

      <div class="wrapper">

         <h1>Mike&rsquo;s Full Catolog Of Shirts</h1>

         <ul class="products">
        <?php foreach($products as $product_id => $product) { 
               echo "<li>";
               echo '<a href="shirt.php?id=' . $product_id . '">';
               echo '<img src="' . $product["img"] .'" alt="' . $product["name"] . '">';
               echo "<p> View Details</p>";
               echo "</a>";
               echo "</li>";
          } 
        ?>

         </ul>

      </div>

    </div>




<?php include('inc/footer.php') ?>

products.php 

<?php
$products = array();
$products[101] = array(
  "name" => "Logo Shirt, Red",
  "price" => 18,
  "img" => "img/shirts/shirt-101.jpg"
);
$products[102] = array(
  "name" => "Mike the Frog Shirt, Black",
    "img" => "img/shirts/shirt-102.jpg",
    "price" => 20
);
$products[103] = array(
    "name" => "Mike the Frog Shirt, Blue",
    "img" => "img/shirts/shirt-103.jpg",    
    "price" => 20
);
$products[104] = array(
    "name" => "Logo Shirt, Green",
    "img" => "img/shirts/shirt-104.jpg",    
    "price" => 18);
$products[105] = array(
    "name" => "Mike the Frog Shirt, Yellow",
    "img" => "img/shirts/shirt-105.jpg",    
    "price" => 25
);
$products[106] = array(
    "name" => "Logo Shirt, Gray",
    "img" => "img/shirts/shirt-106.jpg",    
    "price" => 20
);
$products[107] = array(
    "name" => "Logo Shirt, Turquoise",
    "img" => "img/shirts/shirt-107.jpg",    
    "price" => 20
);
$products[108] = array(
    "name" => "Logo Shirt, Orange",
    "img" => "img/shirts/shirt-108.jpg",    
    "price" => 25,
);

?>

Er, shouldn't line 3 of shirt.php be:

$product_id = $_GET["id"];

with an underscore, not

$product_id = $GET["id"];

Well I'm not quite sure what I did, but it works now. And I better understand how that code works. I think it may have been a problem with localhost.

Hi Carman,

Does shirts.php work or are you only having issues in shirt.php?

Thanks for replying! shirts.php works. And as far as I'm aware the only problem site-wide is shirt.php.
