?>
<html>
  <head></head>
  <body>
    <p>
      <?php echo $name ?>  </p></body>

I have just read and quickly gone through the challenge and the question only requires you to echo out the name variable - you don't need all the html. So all you need is

<?php 
$name="Mike";

echo $name;

?>

$name="Mike";
