what do you actually want to do

<?php
$name ='Grizabella';
$string_one = "Learning to dispaly \"Hello $name\" to the screen.\n";
$string_one = 'Learning to dispaly "Hello '. $name . '!" to the screen. ' . "\n";
$string_one = 'Learning to dispaly "Hello '. $name . '!" to the screen. ' . "\n";
echo $string_one;
//prepend to a string
$string_one = 'Learning to dispaly ';
$string_one = . = "Hello; // where are the finished quotes
$string_one = . = . $name; // you cannot concatenate like this , it will have to be, $string_one .= $name
$string_one =  .=  . '!" to the screen. '; // do the same as aboe
$string_one = $string_one = . "\n"; // do the same
$string_one = 'I am ' = $string_one = . "\n";  // do the same

My code will not run in the console.

hello, where did you try running your code, when you say console, I am a bit less informative. was it in the workspace, your terminal ??

Developer tools in the browser.

Nevermind. I found the error. I neglected a " in one of the code lines. I'm groovy now. Thank you!
