Insert the code you stated above and you will see that your echo statement lacks an exclamation mark at the very end of the message. Add it and you're done.

For future echo statements, I would recommend you another style of using variables in echo strings:

<?php
$text = World;
echo 'Hello' . $text . '!';
?>

This dot notation makes intermingling of text and variables more obvious and - don't quote me on that as I cannot remember the source - will make the echo statement execute faster.
