193 PointsHi,
This is because you are using <title> tag. Title is shown in the Top of the browser - not in the browser. So, My answer is working - because u can see the title on top of the browse showing "Mike" You can change the tag to<h1> , then it will print "Mike" as heading......This time -- inside the browser :)
<?php
$name = "Mike";
?>
<h1><?php echo $name; ?></h1>
