Courses Plus Student 7,772 PointsCreate a PHP Code Block with a Variable called "name" inside of that block and set it equal to "Mike".
This is the challenge
My solution was
$name="Mike";
<?php echo $name ?>
It returns an error saying. Make sure you call; your variable $name
$name="Mike";
<?php echo $name ?>

Courses Plus Student 7,772 PointsThanks for the quick reply.
The problem was, the challenge needed variable to be created inside PHP code instead. and Call it. What I did was I created it outside and called it inside the php tags
That solved the problem
