is anyone else having an issue with their first greeting line of $greeting being indented?

Just curious because my first line is indented and I believe my code is identical to Hamptons. This training video can use some modifications. I hope it gets better from here.

I noticed the same thing. My opening < ? php tag was on the line after the opening < pre > tag. I changed it to resemble the code in the video so they were on the same line with no spaces. This solved the discrepancy. The reason being that the pre tag displays the output inside of it preformatted, including any tabs. Hope this helps.

If I remember correctly he fixes it in a later step. So it is there on purpose for now.

Ok Mat. I have not got to the step where he fixes it, but thanks for confirming it's not my issue. I can't mark your answer as the answer until I get to that point in the training.
