<?php $name = "Mike"; ?> <html> <head> <meta charset=utf-8> <title>Mike Frog | Treehouse Profile</title> </head>

<body> <p><?php echo "$name" ?></p> </body> </html>

index.php
<?php
      $name = "Mike";
?>
<html>

Do not put quotes around a variable when calling it.

thanks and i tried it too.. Still getting same error.

You don't need all that extra HTML code in your answer. Simply echo $name; within a php block.

Can you post a solution please...thank you in advance...I have tried a bunch of things and cannot get it to pass...

Ok thanks :) That helps
