These code challenges are very particular about what they accept, and you have to make sure you do things EXACTLY as they specify. In this case, you have two errors:
1) Your semi-colon is inside your quotation marks, making it a part of the string that you're echoing, and thus leaving the statement unclosed. You need to move the semi-colon outside of the quotation marks.
2) You are echoing "Hello, World" with a comma. You need to echo simply "Hello World"

You have the semi colon inside the string, it should look like:
<p><?php echo "Hello, World"; ?></p>
PHP requires instructions to be terminated with a semicolon at the end of each statement.
