<?php # Script 1.6 - strings.php

 

// Create the variables:

$first_name = 'Haruki';

$last_name = 'Murakami';

$book = 'Kafka on the Shore';

 

// Print the values:

echo "<p>The book <em>$book</em> was written by $first_name $last_name.</p>";

 

?>

</body>

</html>

 

When i run this script in my browser it is producing this result:

 

The book $book was written by $first_name $last_name."

 

; ?>

 

 

I don't understand why the "; ?>" is being displayed when the double quotes already closed the echo statement?
