You may have done it just like they did in the video. But you did something that Treehouse didn't ask for. You included a paragraph tag. :smiley:

:bulb: It's always a good idea to not do anything a challenge doesn't explicitly ask for. Even something that's functional can still cause a challenge to fail.

Removing the paragraph tags should result in you passing the challenge. Give it a whirl! :dizzy:

Same situation here.

I've cross tested this code with out paragraph tags, still throws an error.

<?php echo "Hello World!"; ?>

Copied my code directly from W3Schools php syntax guide. This thing just doesn't process the answers very well? Have had more than one issue with my workspaces like this so far.
