.josh Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 echo '$firstname'; You need to either use double quotes "..." or no quotes. Variables are not evaluated in single quotes. date(‘Y-m-d H: -- i:s’) You can't use those funky quotes. PHP recognizes normal single or double quotes '...' or "..." Also in the future, try to be more descriptive of the problem. Explain what you expect to be happening and what it is not doing that you expect. Explain what it is doing instead. Just saying "It doesn't work" is not descriptive. Everything else is syntactically correct.

PaulRyan Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 <?php date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London'); ?> <html> <head> <title>Welcome</title> </head> <body> <p>Hi, <?php $firstname = 'Ragena'; echo $firstname; // PHP finishes here, now back to HTML ?> </p> Your first name is <?php echo $firstname; ?>.</p> <p>The time now is <?php echo date('Y-m-d H: -- i:s'); ?></p> </body> </html> Try using the code above, you didn't have proper apostrophes in your code. Also you should use date_default_timezone_set(); as you shold receive a warning if you have display errors on. Regards, PaulRyan.
