Shirts sizes won't pop up. Can't find typo.

Here's the code for shirt.php:

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

        <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 class="shirt-details">

                    <h1><span class="price">$<?php echo $product["price"]; ?></span>
                        <?php echo $product["name"]; ?></h1>

                        <form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">

                                </td>

and here is products.php:

    "img" => "img/shirts/shirt-102.jpg",
    "price" => 20,
    "paypal" => "BK6EVECGZ78XG",
    "sizes" => array("Small","Medium","Large","X-Large")
);
$products[103] = array(
    "name" => "Mike the Frog Shirt, Blue",
    "img" => "img/shirts/shirt-103.jpg",    
    "price" => 20,
    "paypal" => "BK6EVECGZ78XG",
    "sizes" => array("Small","Medium","Large","X-Large")

$products[104] = array(

$products[105] = array(

Got it! Here was the typo: <?php foreach($product["$sizes"] as $size) { ?>

Instead, it should be: <?php foreach($product["sizes"] as $size) { ?>

Notice that the value inside the brackets $product["$sizes"] had an extra $...After I removed it, it now works. Here is the correct syntax: $product["sizes"]

Hey Michael,

I think your typo is in your HTML. You are using double quotes inside of double quotes which is messing it up.

This is the code snippet in question:

<span>
    <img src="<?php echo $product["img"]; ?>" alt="<?php echo $product["name"]; ?>">
</span>

Just replace the doubles around img and name with singles and see if that helps.

<span>
    <img src="<?php echo $product['img']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $product['name']; ?>">
</span>

:)

Hmm, ok. Thanks! So I implemented the changes you mentioned, but unfortunately it didn't change anything that I could see. Actually I think the problem is in this section of code:

<select name="os0" id="os0">
    <?php foreach($product["$sizes"] as $size) { ?>
    <option value="<?php echo $size; ?>"><?php echo $size; ?></option>
    <?php } ?>
</select>
