?>

1,393 PointsI just tried doing it that way right now, but it did not work. Code below just returned "I do not see the name "MIke"."
Abraham Swarays answer worked wonders though! Shame we didn't learn that yet.
<?php
$name = "Mike";
?>
<p><?php echo $name ?></p>

8,712 PointsHmm, you are right that it doesn't pass. It must be an issue with the code-challenger because your code is perfectly valid.
