Need help on a challenge...

Here is the question: Here's some code from a basic HTML file. Add a PHP command that would display the name of our website, Shirts 4 Mike, inside the H1 tag. Remember to use an opening PHP tag, a semi-colon, and a closing PHP tag as part of the command.

I thought I did it right but apparently I didn't anyone see my error?

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
    <h1><?php echo Shirts 4 Mike; ?> </h1>
</body>
</html>

I did this and it worked for me

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <?php $webname= "Shirts 4 Mike";?> <h1><? php echo $webname;?></h1> </body> </html>
