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

What's wrong in this code? I'm getting Bummer! I am not seeing Mike's name

index.php 
<?php

$name = "Mike";

?>

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <body>
    <h1><?php echo "$name"; ?></h1>
  </body>  
</html>

Hi Greeshma, you need to remove the quotes from the $name variable as we don't need them to echo out a variable like so:

 <h1><?php echo $name; ?></h1>

Hope that helps!!

ah, looking at the code challenge it wants you to echo out the $name variable within a php block without any html so just:

<?php

$name = "Mike";

echo $name;

?>
