Sorry I made an error, If your shirts.php is inside of your inc folder, you are calling for the link in your index.php, you do not need to go up one directory. The link would be <a href="inc/shirts.php> Shirts</a>. Looking back on my files the shirts.php and contact.php are saved in the main folder along with the index.php if you move your files shirts.php and contact.php to be in the same directory as your index.php your links will work as they are without making any changes.

Sorry for the previous error on my part.

Are your saving the shirts.php inside the root directory or inside the inc folder?

Do not remember the video but the index file would be in the root folder, In that case your link would work. Inside the inc folder you would need to add ../shirts.php adding the ../ to go up one directory. Try placing the shirts.php inside the same location as your index.php Then your link should work..
