index.php Server Error 500 - using MAMP

Hey,

I'm following the video: "Build a Basic PHP Website". My index.php file was loading before (in MAMP) but now I am getting a server error.

All the other .php pages work just fine.

Here's the code in the index.php file:

<?php include("inc/data.php"); include("inc/functions.php") $pageTitle = "Personal Media Library"; $section = null;

include("inc/header.php"); ?> <div class="section catalog random">

        <div class="wrapper">

            <h2>May we suggest something?</h2>

            <ul class="items">
                <?php 
                $random = array_rand($catalog,4);
                foreach($random as $id){
                    echo get_item_html($id,$catalog[$id]);
                } 
                ?>                              
            </ul>

        </div>

    </div>

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

You should be getting a syntax error as you don't have a ; after this statement: 

include("inc/functions.php")

Also, the final include doesn't appear to have any php tags around it:

include("inc/footer.php");
