Courses Plus Student 22,237 PointsYou should post the question too, but I think that you should remove all the code after $name in the p tag. Because you already set the variable to Mike.
The correct code should be:
<?php
$name ="Mike";
?>
<p><?php echo $name ?></p>

Since you set the variable, you can just echo that.

I also tried nesting it in HTML coding
