After following the instructions for listing the shirts, its not showing up. No images, content, etc..Nothing. Help.. Here is the code:

<?php

$products = array(); $products[101] = array( "name" => "Logo Shirt, Red", "img" => "img/shirts/shirt-101.jpg", "price" => 18
); $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",

Hi Cedric, I dont know anything of php but i think you could write a not necessary comma in the last instance of your shirt list.. Look:

"price" => 25, );

After 25.

I hope you can solve it!

Best regards! León

This code is OK. I think the problem may have to do with something else.. You're on your local machine right? local host?

Double check that you are viewing localhost/PROJECT_FOLDER_NAME/shirts.php in your browser address bar.

I am going out on a limb to say that the problem has to do with your project's directory and/or file names.

Are you getting a php error at the top of the page?

I have refactored (cleaned up) your code and tested this, I hope this will help...

<?php

// Include the header
include('inc/header.php');

// Declare your variables
$pageTitle = 'Mike\'s Full Catalog of Shirts';
$section = 'shirts';

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