Bug, as the html <php></php> should not be inside a php block of code.

The question asks what code is needed in a PHP block of code.

Treehouse gives the correct answer as "

<?php <php> ... </php> ?>
```"

This is incorrect, as you do not need the html tags

<php> </php> ```inside PHP blocks of code.

I was told by technical support to post this in the forum.

I think the way they have written is incorrect but I do know what the answer is trying to say...

<?php <php>..</php>... ?>

<php>...</php> is actually php code i.e. $test = 234; or a loop or anything like that.
