Hi, Youssef Aziz , I can see that you're getting the right solution here. Only problem here is that the Code Challenge is only asking for plain PHP code, putting all the extra HTML codes there might prevent the grader from getting a correct read of your solution.

<?php
$name = "Mike";
echo $name;
?>

This would be suffice. Hope it helps.
