Breadcrumb not appearing

My breadcrumbs only appear in details page. When I navigate to Music or Books or Movies, it disappear. Here's my code of details.php

<?php include("inc/data.php"); include("inc/function.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="breadcrumbs">
  <a href="catalog.php">Full Catalog</a>
  &gt; <a href="catalog.php?cat=<?php echo strtolower($item["category"]);?>"> <?php echo $item["category"];?></a>
  &gt; <?php echo $item["title"]; ?>
</div>

<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>
      <tr>
        <th>ISBN</th>
        <td><?php echo $item["isbn"];?> </td>
      </tr>
      <?php } else if (strtolower($item["category"]) == "movies") { ?>
      <tr>
        <th>Director</th>
        <td><?php echo $item["director"];?> </td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <th>Writers</th>
        <td><?php echo implode(", ",$item["writers"]);?> </td>
      </tr>
      <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>
      </tr>
      <?php } ?>  
    </table>

Hey, I think I have found your answer. Your problem is here, after your strtolower, you used that : " ". To solve your problem, you have two solutions:

  • either, to use ' ' instead of " ". For example: 
<a href="catalog.php?cat=<?php echo strtolower($item['category']);?>"
  • or, to use \ nested into your $item[category]. For example:
<a href="catalog.php?cat=<?php echo strtolower($item[\"category\"]);?>"

The first solution is more readable than the second ;). I think it'll work fine by now!
