The PHP Basic code challenge that asks you to include the 'favorites' file doesn't except my answer though it's correct .
Even when I preview it within the workspace is works though when I check my work it it states that my code is not correct.
I contacted help support and they say it's working for them so it must be my answer. And I should check out here for an answer.

Challenge Task 1 of 1
Within the current directory, I have created a file named favorites.php that displays a few of my favorite things. Add the php code blocks and include that file so that my favorite things display below the heading.
Here's my code:
<html>
<head>
<title>A Few of My Favorite Things</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>A Few of My Favorite Things</h1>
<?php include 'favorites.php' ?>
</body>
</html>

First, I added markdown to your post so that the code snippet is readable in the Community. When posting code, please follow Markdown formatting, otherwise the code is pretty unreadable.
As for your question, you have a syntax error in the line of code. You are missing the semicolon to close the statement. Semicolons are vital in PHP code, and missing just one will often 'break' the code. Once you put in the semicolon, the code will pass.
Keep coding!
