Edward Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Try this: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <meta name="author" content="Susan C.

Stilwell, Sue's Special Imagery"/> <meta name="keywords" content="art, graphics, photography, logos, business cards, imagery, letterhead, web, web design, artist, visual, design, video"/> <link rel="stylesheet"type="text/css" href="styles.css"/> <title>Hello, World!</title> </head> <body> <p>The following was created by PHP: <br /> <?php /* * Filename: hello3.php * Book referance: Script 1.5 * Create by: Susan Stilwell */ //print "<span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Hello, world!</span>\n"; ?> <!-- This is an HTML comment. --> </p> </body> </html> The problem is lying on line 17, you see in the book line 17 has two lines, one numbered 17 and the other below line is blank. These two lines are line 17. //print "<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Hello, world!</span>\n"; All of this statement needs to be on one single line: //print "<span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">Hello, world!</span>\n"; For comments starting with // all the commented out text must proceed the // on the same line. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
