Okay here is my 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",    
    "price" => 18
);
$products[105] = array(
    "name" => "Mike the Frog Shirt, Yellow",
    "img" => "img/shirts/shirt-105.jpg",    
    "price" => 25
);
$products[106] = array(
    "name" => "Logo Shirt, Gray",
    "img" => "img/shirts/shirt-106.jpg",    
    "price" => 20
);
$products[107] = array(
    "name" => "Logo Shirt, Turquoise",
    "img" => "img/shirts/shirt-107.jpg",    
    "price" => 20
);
$products[108] = array(
    "name" => "Logo Shirt, Orange",
    "img" => "img/shirts/shirt-108.jpg",    
    "price" => 25,
);

?><?php
$pageTitle = "Mike's Full Catalog Of Shirts";
$section = "shirts";
include('inc/header.php'); ?>

        <div class="section shirts page">

            <div class="wrapper">

                <h1>Mike&rsquo;s Full Catalog Of Shirts</h1>

                <ul class="products">
                    <?php foreach($products as $product) { 
                            echo "<li>";
                            echo '<a href="#">';
                            echo '<img src="' . $product["img"] . '" alt="' . $product["name"] . '">' 
                            echo "<p>View Dietals</p>";
                            echo "</a>";
                            echo "</li>";
                        }
                    ?>                  
                </ul>

Philip, if you look at the error you can see that you have a parse error in the shirts.php file on the line 61. If you look at the code, you can see this on the line 60:

echo '<img src="' . $product["img"] . '" alt="' . $product["name"] . '">'

You forgot to add the semi colon at the end.

Hugo's right. (I was asked to answer this question via email. Not sure why.)

I may be the reason for that email, I posted the question to all of the people that tree house recommended, but I think that you also get points for answering them too because I got an email asking me to do the same last week.
