Wrong title displayed for index.php

Hello everyone, I've lately subscribed here to learn PHP, I hope to learn a lot from this website which seems great !

However, I'm having some troubles solving a little issue with the dynamic title of the page in the php track.

All the pages display well the name of the page thanks my variable $pageTitle, except the index.php...

Instead displaying what I put in the variable which is "Welcome here", It displays some html/css tags. I don't understand the reason of this...

Things such as "<br/> <font size="2" table class="xdebug ..."

All is looking good to me. Does anonyne have already experienced such issue ? I'm sure that's something stupid...

Well, that was indeed stupid, I had forgotten to define the variables at the top of the index.php file. That's why, sorry for that stupid question.

Sounds like you might be missing an opening or closing bracket somewhere in the code on that page. Maybe you could post the code for index.php?

For sure, here is the code.

<?php 

$pageTitle="welcome here";

include('inc/header.php');

?>

<div id="content">

    <div class="section banner">

        <div class="wrapper">

            <img class="hero" src="img/mike-the-frog.png" alt="Mike the Frog says:">
            <div class="button">
                <a href="#">
                    <h2>Hey, I&rsquo;m Mike!</h2>
                    <p>Check Out My Shirts</p>
                </a>
            </div>
        </div>

    </div> <!-- #section banner"-->

    <div class="section shirts latest">

        <div class="wrapper">

            <h2>Mike&rsquo;s Latest Shirts</h2>

            <ul class="products">
                <li><a href="#">
                        <img src="img/shirts/shirt-108.jpg">
                        <p>View Details</p>
