PHP

Why does my browser not recognize "Hello, World!"?

I'm starting php, and whether I'm using my own editor, Brackets, my browser doesn't recognize the php code block of "Hello World". Not sure what to do here. My code is spot on to the teacher's. But it does actually recognize it in the workspaces.

Can't tell for sure, based on what you've said. But one thing that is very important if you are viewing php code in a browser is that you can't open the php file as a file, you have to have it served up by a server. So check first to make sure you started the server.

I use MAMP, and I sometimes forget to start MAMP, and then nothing works right!

Hope this helps.
