The on class will not take effect!

I've looked through this like a million times, am i missing something?

Catalog.php <?php

$pageTitle = "Full Catalog"; $section = null; ?>

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

if (isset($_GET["cat"])){

if ($_GET["cat"] == "books") {
    $pageTitle = "Books";
    $section = "books"; 
} else if ($_GET["cat"] == "movies") {
    $pageTitle = "Movies";
    $section = "movies";
} else if ($_GET["cat"] == "music") {
    $pageTitle = "Music";
    $section = "music";
}

} ?>

<div class="section page"> <h1><?php echo $pageTitle; ?></h1> </div>

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

and this is in my header.php:-

<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<?php if ($section == "books") { print " on"; } ?>"><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">

I'm only trying to get the books link to get underlined before i copy and paste it onto the other links.

It works on the suggest.php file but thats about it.

I found the problem....

My include file of the header.php was placed before the the if statement in the catalog.php file.
