PHP login system does not load.

When I remove session_start() at the top of index.php, it will load, but when I login I get the error:
Notice: Undefined variable: error_message in C:\xampp\htdocs\MyProj\index.php on line 58

Line 58 is the php variable in the HTML.

Here is the index.php:

[php]<?php

session_start();
if(isset($_POST[‘submit’])) { //checks if submit is clicked
include_once(“db.php”); //include db

	$username = strip_tags($_POST['email']); 			//get username&password
	$password = strip_tags($_POST['password']); 		//removes tags/symbols in string/sql injection

	// Three different sql injection prevention strategies
	$username = stripslashes($username); //removes slashes in sql injection
	$password = stripslashes($password);
	
	$username = mysqli_real_escape_string($connection, $username); 
	$password = mysqli_real_escape_string($connection, $password);

	//ENCRYPTING PASSWORD - in case of db intrusion
	//$password = md5($password);
	//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
	//Talk to db
	$sql = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE Email = '$username' LIMIT 1";
	$qry = mysqli_query($connection, $sql);
	
	$row = mysqli_fetch_row($qry);
	$id = $row['User_ID'];
	$db_password = $row['Password'];
	
	 
	if ($password == $db_password) {
		$_SESSION['Email'] = $username; 
		$_SESSION['User_ID'] = $id;
		$error_message = "status";
		header("Location: home.php");
	} else {
		$error_message = "Incorrect password.";
	}
	
}

?>[/php]

JavaScript Example
<div class="container">
	<div class="login">

	<div id="login_form">
		
		<div class="h1Tag">
			<h1>MyGarden</h1>		
		</div>
		<p>[php]<?php echo "<div style='color:red;'>" . $error_message . "</div>"; ?>[/php]</p>
		<div class="login_form">
			<form action="index.php" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">

				<p>Not registered?<br><a href="sign_up.php">Sign Up</a></p>
			</form>
		</div>
	
	</div>

 </div>  

This is home.php:
[php]<?php
session_start();

if (!isset($_SESSION['Email'])) {
	header("Location: index.php");
}

?>[/php]

homepage
<div class="header">

	<div class="top">
		<p>Hello . Share your garden with friends from around the world.</p>
	
		<div class="logout">
			<p><a href="logout.php">Logout</a></p>
		</div>
	</div>
	
	<div class="bottom">
	
		<div class="logo">

This is db.php:

die ("Connection failed: ".mysqli_connect_error());
}

?>[/php]
