Code Challenge: Server Paths and Constants (3 of 3)

I know this might seem trivial, but I could use some help in trying to display the value of this variable within this HTML line of code:

Challenge: The name of the owner of the company is in a variable called “owner”. Replace the question marks in the code below with the owner’s name. (Be sure to leave the space between the colon and the name intact, along with all the other HTML.)

My Code: <?php include("../../config/company.php"); ?> <html> <head> <title>Leadership | Shirts 4 Mike</title> </head> <body>

<h1>Leadership</h1>

<p><strong>Owner:</strong> . $owner</p> this is the line in question <p><a href="/contact/">Contact</a></p>

</body> </html>

<p><strong>Owner:</strong> ????</p>

you must write a small piece of php code that will replace the question marks***

your code must print the variable called “owner”. the print function of php is the echo

I would like to thank you for your response. However, I fully understand the task in theory, I am just having a hard time getting it to work:

echo "<p><strong>Owner:</strong></p>" . $owner; ?> *doesn't seem to work*

<p><strong>Owner:</strong> <?php echo "Owner:" . $owner;?></p>

The code you've written prints correctly the variable but it prints twice the word 'Owner:'
your php code does not need to print the word 'Owner:'
must print the space between the colon and the name intact ===>" "
and the variable ===> $owner.
So:

<p><strong>Owner:</strong><?php echo " ".$owner;?></p>
