shirts.php = Not Found

When I click to 'Shirts' button, I get the error below:

Not Found The requested URL /shirts.php was not found on this server.

However, when I move the shirts.php file from 'inc' to main directory, I can access to shirt.php.

Does anyone know why this happens?

My header.php:

<?php include('inc/header.php'); ?>

    <div class="section page">

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

    </div>

<?php include('inc/footer.php'); ?>

My shirts.php:

<html>
<head>
    <title><?php echo "Shirts 4 Mike"; ?></title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css" type="text/css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Oswald:400,700" type="text/css">
    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico">
</head>
<body>

    <div class="header">

        <div class="wrapper">

            <h1 class="branding-title"><a href="./">Shirts 4 Mike</a></h1>

            <ul class="nav">
                <li class="shirts"><a href="shirts.php">Shirts</a></li>
                <li class="contact"><a href="contact.php">Contact</a></li>
                <li class="cart"><a href="#">Shopping Cart</a></li>
            </ul>

        </div>

    </div>

    <div id="content">

Oh! I found the problem: I thought, contact.php and shirts.php was suppose to be under 'inc' folder too. As it turns out, they were suppose to be under the main directory!

Ask and answered by me. Sorry! :)

Quick question, why does your header.php have the following line 

            <?php include('inc/header.php'); ?>

That would also be a logic error. It makes no sense to have a file include itself.
