I am inputting this code into my index.php file CODE <?php $myString = "Hello!"; echo $myString; echo <h5>I love using PHP!<h5>"; ?> yet when I refresh my server I get this CODE I love using PHP! "; ?> Any explanations as to why I might be getting this negative result. It should read: Hello! I love using PHP! in bold Edit

Here would be the proper way... CODE <?php $myString = "Hello!"; echo "$myString"; echo "<h5>I love using PHP!<h5>"; ?> Notice that I put on some double quotes for $myString and then you forgot to start your second echo with a double quote. Other than that, well done.

Just one last question, If I am serious about learning PHP (I want to create a web based game) should I study HTML first? I know very little about HTML and have noticed that even in PHP tutorials HTML seems to find its way in there.

PHP is for processing and showing its results as web output... thus HTML. Master HTML because you will certainly need it since PHP and HTML go together like peanut butter and jelly.
