Page not working

Hi.

When I tried http://port-80-4evvkhb6uf.treehouse-app.com/details.php?id=101 I got an HTTP 500 error.

Here's a snapshot:

Thanks in advance for any help.

You know what's funny? If I click on the snapshot I can actually see the workspace (and work on it) perfectly fine! lol

Update: Well I can't edit your code but I can see everything. ;-)

Hi there, Sean Flanagan! I took the liberty of forking your workspace. The routing for the details pages are handled by details.php, but this file is completely missing from your snapshot. I'm not sure what happened, but the file you were working on in the video isn't here.

Hope you get it sorted out! :sparkles:

My apologies Jennifer Nordell. It looks like I accidentally sent over a shot taken 14 days ago. My mistake.

Here's another shot:

https://w.trhou.se/y3l9r3batd

My details.php code:

<?php
include("inc/data.php");
include("inc/functions.php");

if (isset($_GET["id"]))
{
  $id = $_GET["id"];
  if (isset($catalog[$id]))
  {
    $item = $catalog[$id]);
  }
}

if (!isset($item))
{
  header("location:catalog.php");
  exit;
}

$pageTitle = $item["title"];
$section = null;

include("inc/header.php"); ?>

<div class="section page">
  <div class="wrapper">
    <div class="media-picture">
      <span>
        <img src="<?php echo $item["img"]; ?>" alt="<?php echo $item["title"]; ?>" />
      </span>
    </div>
    <div class="media-details">
      <h1><?php echo $item["title"]; ?></h1>
      <table>
        <tr>
          <th>Category</th>
          <td><?php echo $item["category"]; ?></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <th>Genre</th>
          <td><?php echo $item["genre"]; ?></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <th>Format</th>
          <td><?php echo $item["format"]; ?></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <th>Year</th>
          <td><?php echo $item["year"]; ?></td>
        </tr>
        <?php if (strtolower($item["category"]) == "books") { ?>
        <tr>
          <th>Authors</th>
          <td><?php echo implode(", ", $item["authors"]); ?></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <th>Publisher</th>
          <td><?php echo $item["publisher"]; ?></td>
        </tr>

          <th>ISBN</th>
          <td><?php echo $item["isbn"]; ?></td>

          <td><?php echo implode(", ", $item["writers"]); ?></td>
        </tr>

          <th>Stars</th>
          <td><?php echo implode(", ", $item["stars"]); ?></td>
        </tr>
        <?php } else if (strtolower($item["category"]) == "music") { ?>
          <tr>
            <th>Artist</th>
            <td><?php echo $item["artist"]; ?></td>
