I'm having issues making "mike" echo on the page. I believe I've done it correctly but it looks like something missing.

<?php $name = mike ?>

<?php echo $name; ?>

What am I missing?

Also you are missing the quotes around "Mike"

Maybe try putting the echo in the same php code block and see if that works. eg

<?php
$name = "Mike";
//put your echo statement here
?>

*You also need to make sure Mike is capitalized or it will not accept it.
