it happens! this course is a lot different than most other courses because it works from an actual php file whereas most other course work through a php terminal emulator. its annoying until you get used to it, but it is way more practical than typing something in an emulator and getting a result. printing something to the screen is almost always not the goal of php programming and even when it is you still have to write the html/css of the page in order to display it.
