   * Variables in PHP are always represented by <html>$</html>and the variable name.
   * In this case, we have a variable named 'page' and we assign it the value of 'media' which is the page name.
-  * Now open 'header.php' and replace the <html><script><html> line with the following.
+  * Add a command to display the variable.
+<code><?php
+    $page = "media";
+    echo $page;
+    include("header.php");
+    include("menu.php");
+?></code>
+  * When you save, upload and run the code, you'll see the word 'media' at the top.
+  * The code in 'header.php' is part of the same page, so we can use our variable there too.
+  * Now open 'header.php' and replace the <html><script></html> line with the following.
 <code>    <script src="<?php echo $page; ?>.js"></script></code>
   * Notice that the only change we've made is to the word 'lists'. We've replaced it with PHP code saying to 'echo' (reproduce in the code) the value of the variable 'page'.
