Hey guys! I am having trouble with my server reading my PHP file at localhost/test.php It keeps reading my original .php file even though MAMP is up and I have continually saved the new PHP file in text editor. Not sure what to do but thought I would ask someone smarter than me. Also, I have gotten the green Congrats! banner on the top of this exercise that says "Here's some code from a basic HTML file. Add a PHP command that would display the name of our website, Shirts 4 Mike, inside the H1 tag. Remember to use an opening PHP tag, a semi-colon, and a closing PHP tag as part of the command." but it won't let me continue. Can someone help? Thanks, Brian

If you are not saving the changes to that file then mamp can't read the changes. Your second problem is likely a bug. Just click on "Build a Simple PHP Application" at the top left hand corner and this will take you back to the course overview page. You should be able to find the next video from there.
