I'm pretty sure that this is the command. But it's not working for some reason...

The challenge asked for "Hello World" not "HELLO WORLD", so its just a matter of grammar, just capitalize the H, and W of Hello World, not the entire word.

This passes the challenge for me, it doesn't require paragraph tags to pass. You will find capitalisation is important in most tasks throughout team treehouse.

12,798 PointsI tried that and it didn't work. Turns out that it needs to be encloses in paragraph tags. So it's
<?php echo "<p>Hello World</p>"; ?>
The instructions just didn't specify that
Dane Parchment
Treehouse Moderator 11,077 PointsYou didn't have to encase them in any of the tags, I just entered:
<html>
<head>
<title>PHP Basic Usage Challenge</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php echo "Hello World"; ?>
</body>
</html>
and go it correct, remeber that php compiles to html already, so unless you are specifying tags other than paragraph tags, you don't really need to encase the tags. So the instructions were correct as you don't have to encase the echoed text in any tags, but doing so will garner the same results as not enclosing them so you got it right anyhow.
