Hi all. Im building a shopping cart using an online tutorial in youtube, but i have an error

<?php

if(isset($_GET['action']) && $_GET['action'] == "add"){
	$id = intval($_GET['id']);
	if(isset($_SESSION['cart'][$id])){
		$_SESSION['cart'][$id]['quantity']++;
		
	}	else{
		
			$sql2 = "SELECT * FROM products WHERE id_products=$id";
			$query2 = mysql_query($sql2);	
			
			if(mysql_num_rows($query2) != 0){
			$row2 = mysql_fetch_array($query2); 
		
			$_SESSION['cart'][$row2['id_products']] = array("quantity" => 1, "price" => $row2['price']);
		
	
			}else{
			
				$message = "This product id is invalid";
			}
		}
	}



?>
<h2 class="message"><?php if(isset($message)){echo $message;} ?></h2>

<h1>Product</h1>

<table>


	<tr>
    	<th>name</th>
    	<th>description</th>
    	<th>price</th>
    	<th>action</th>
	</tr>

	<?php
	$sql = "SELECT * FROM products ORDER BY name ASC";
	$query = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
	
	while
	($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)){
		

	?>
    
    <tr>
    	<td><?php echo $row['name']; ?></td>
        <td><?php echo $row['description']; ?></td>
        <td><?php echo "$" .$row['price']; ?></td>

        <?php

On the comment section some user had this problem and he said to check if the session names are correct and to do a die message which I did but I think my session names seems fine and an error occured when I tried to put a die message.

Never the less the tutorial is the best I ever did for php.

I appreciate the help :).

Please provide a link to the tutorial in question.

Sorry about that I give you to it right now.

Also I tried to be clever by trying to fix the error by changing the file name to product.php to products.php as the guy has his saved as products.php (sorry for my poor grammer)

<?php

session_start();
?>
<?php



include_once'config2.php';

if(isset($_GET['page']))//get info from a get variable inside url
{
	$pages = array("products", "cart");//define array variable
	
	if(in_array($_GET['page'], $pages))//if does not exist in array will go to defualt page
	{
		$page = $_GET['page'];
	}
	else 
	{
		$page ="products";
	}
}
else
{
	$page ="products";
}


?>

Hey sorry for late reply thanks for this,the error does not show up but when I click on the add to cart it says

"This product id is invalid"

I know what the problem is its not finding my products_id but I know I have changed everything to products_id on the query and everything else but still can't find the solution. I did double check my databse and has the name is fine.

I paste my codes

my index.php page

<?php

if(isset($_GET['action']) && $_GET['action'] == "add"){
    $id = intval($_GET['id']);
    if(isset($_SESSION['cart'][$id])){
        $_SESSION['cart'][$id]['quantity']++;

    }   else{

            $sql2 = "SELECT * FROM products WHERE id_products='$id'";
            $query2 = mysql_query($sql2) or die(mysql_error());
            print_r($sql2);
            if(mysql_num_rows($query2) != 0)
            {
                $row2 = mysql_fetch_array($query2); 

                $_SESSION['cart'][$row2['id_products']] = array("quantity" => 1, "price" => $row2['price']);

            }
            else
