15,088 PointsThen you must have an error elsewhere in the code, can you please post the contents of products.php, header.php and footer.php files as well? I will quickly check them for you :)
It must be a typo :) also place this on the very top of your code:
<?php
// Enables error reporting
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set("display_errors", 1);
include("inc/products.php");
// Rest of yout code goes here...
?>
It should show php errors instead of a blank page :)

1,423 PointsThank you, that error code showed the issue. Was issue in products.php page, Now it works =)
Maciej Sularz
15,088 PointsGlad I could help, it's good practice to have error reporting ON while in development - saves you a lot of time :)
Good luck for the fututre!
Kind regards, Maciej Sularz

echo'<img src="' . $product["img"] . '" alt="' . $product["name"] . '">'
you forgot the semi-colon at the end of the line. That's all. :)

1,423 Points<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>
Still doesnt work
Sean T. Unwin
28,690 PointsHmm. I just tested against my Shirts4Mike project and it worked after I added the semi-colon.
Sean T. Unwin
28,690 PointsWhat error are you getting or what shows up on the page?
Maciej Sularz
15,088 PointsYou are missing a semicolon at the end of the line after <img> tag in your <ul> element.
Let me know if that solves the problem :)
<?php
echo'<img src="' . $product["img"] . '" alt="' . $product["name"] . '">'
?>
Simon Strömberg
1,423 PointsIt didnt solve it
Simon Strömberg
1,423 PointsIt comes up a white blank page on this url: http://port-80-o8ngbeg2s8.treehouse-app.com/shirts.php
Maciej Sularz
15,088 PointsTry this code, is the $products defined in the header?
<ul class="products">
<?php
$products = array(
array(
'img' => 'http://placehold.it/150x150',
'name' => 'Product 1 Name'),
array(
'img' => 'http://placehold.it/150x150',
'name' => 'Product 1 Name'),
array(
'img' => 'http://placehold.it/150x150',
'name' => 'Product 1 Name')
);
foreach($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>

Do any other pages load correctly from the project's workspace, like the index?
