Using Variables for the Title Tag not working

Getting Undefined variable notice on $pageTitle while trying to preview in Workspace. Not sure what I'm missing. Here are my header.php and suggest.php files.

<html>
<head>
    <title><?php echo $pageTitle; ?></title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css" type="text/css">
</head>
<body>

    <div class="header">

        <div class="wrapper">

            <h1 class="branding-title"><a href="./">Personal Media Library</a></h1>

            <ul class="nav">
                <li class="books"><a href="catalog.php?cat=books">Books</a></li>
                <li class="movies"><a href="catalog.php?cat=movies">Movies</a></li>
                <li class="music"><a href="catalog.php?cat=music">Music</a></li>
                <li class="suggest"><a href="suggest.php">Suggest</a></li>
            </ul>

        </div>

    </div>

    <div id="content">

<?php 
$pageTitle = "Suggest a Media Item";

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

<div class="section page">
  <h1>Suggest a Media Item</h1>
</div>

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