I don't understand how the pages are able to display their h1 title when catalogue.php is not a include file.

I don't understand how the pages h1 tag are able to display a title according to the if else statement in catalogue.php seeing as catalogue.php is not an include file.

Hi,

Could you link us to the video/question or paste the code here for us to see?

Than we should be able to help explain how it works.

catalog.php is not included as it is catalog.php that is being viewed in the video, it would not need to include itself.

The header gets it's value from the GET request and the value stored in the URL.

For example http://treehouse-app.com/catalog.php?cat=music

_GET['cat'] is stored as a variable in url with the value music.

In the video Alena is using _GET variables stored in the URL to change the content of the pages header.
